WHAT TO WEAR
We recommend you to wear loose fitting clothes to maximize your comfort and so the acupuncturist is able to get to any areas that you will need work on.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR SESSION
During your first visit with us, you will have a consultation to go over your current health concerns. This gives you the opportunity to express any concerns or questions you may have. After this, we will take you to the treatment area where you will find a basket near your table for your stuff. Once you are in the treatment area you will be treated by a licensed acupuncture practitioner who will typically take 5-10 minutes to insert the needles, and then you will rest for 40-45 minutes.
DURING YOUR SESSION
It is important to relax and lie still during your rest time. If you move you might feels a discomfort where the needles are. During your session it is a great time to practice mediation or breathing exercises to achieve the most relaxed state to allow the treatments fully work. (Breathing exercise- when you breath in your belly goes up and when you breathe out your belly goes down; when your mind starts to wonder just bring it back to the breath!)
When you enter the Acupuncture Lounge, please be mindful of other patients and be silent. Make sure your phone is turned off.
EXTRAS
We offer eye pillows for extra comfort, just let us know if you would like one.
Please feel free to bring anything else you might want or need, i.e. ear plugs, neck pillow, blanket, etc.
GOING FORWARD
It is important to remember that acupuncture is a process, and one which usually takes multiple treatments to help most conditions. This could be anywhere from 1-12 treatments depending on your constitution and the conditions being treated, at an interval of 1-3 visits per week in most cases. In general, acute conditions are quicker to treat than long standing chronic ones. A treatment plan is discussed with you during the initial intake. On subsequent visits, we do a quick check-in to see how you’ve been feeling since the previous treatment, and if anything new has come up which needs to be addressed. We always check your tongue and pulse for changes. This gives us valuable information as to how you are responding to treatments.
TREATMENT TIPS
It is good to have something to eat about an hour before your treatment.
Wear comfortable clothes that allow access to areas below the elbows and knees.
Silence is golden! Keep in mind that there will be others in the room with you receiving treatments. Please turn your cell phones off when entering the clinic and be respectful of those around you who have come to relax and renew as you have.
If possible, set aside time after your treatment to rest.
We are here to make you experience the best it can be, please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Call us today if you have any questions that we don’t cover on our website.
