What do I wear to my appointment?
Patients should wear loose, comfortable clothing. Commonly used acupuncture points are on the arms below the elbows, on the legs below the knee, and on the feet. Clothing that can be rolled up to allow access to those areas will make for an easier experience; jeans are typically unsuited for this.
What can I expect on my first visit?
Your acupuncturist will have an extensive conversation regarding your overall health and the condition that brought you in to seek treatment.
Your initial consultation, your health history and your current health story will all aid in establishing a differential diagnosis and in developing a treatment plan specifically for you. The acupuncture point selection and supplement/herbal prescriptions will all be chosen based on what is best suited for your condition. This treatment plan will continue to evolve throughout your subsequent visits as your condition changes and improves.
You will then be given the acupuncture treatment. For approximately 25 minutes, you will be in the treatment room, retaining the body points. The environment is relaxed with low light levels and calming music; patients often fall asleep due to the level of relaxation achieved.
Following the treatment, you will have additional conversation with your acupuncturist as they remove the needles and set appropriate expectations for your condition’s expected progression.
How many treatments will I need?
It is important to understand that acupuncture is a natural and gentle form of healing. Acupuncture treatments are cumulative; building on each other. While some improvement may be experienced right away, lasting results can take time as the healing process takes place. Every person and condition is unique, requiring a different frequency and quantity of treatment sessions, but a typical plan might consist of: 2 treatments per week for the first 2-3 weeks, followed by 6-8 weeks with a single treatment per week. Your condition and progress are continuously re-evaluated, and the treatment plan adjusted accordingly.
After the the conclusion of a treatment plan, many patients transition to a once a month maintenance plan. They experienced the beneficial “side effects” of acupuncture, which can include better sleep quality, calmer mood, improved digestion, and an overall sense of well being, and they don’t want to give that up!
