For best results

While undergoing acupuncture treatment, you will benefit most by refraining from excessive use of caffeine, cigarettes, alcohol and other drugs so that you can optimize your body's ability to regain balance.  Please schedule your activities so that you come into treatment neither too full, too hungry, nor exhausted.  After your treatment, take care of yourself and allow your body and mind to assimilate the treatment.  If possible, wait at least an hour to eat a full meal.  

You will remain clothed during treatment so please wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing.  Most acupuncture points used are located on the lower arms and legs, hands and feet, so clothing is usually rolled up to access the points.  If an article of clothing needs to be removed, sheets and blankets are provided to keep you warm and preserve your modesty.  For the comfort of others, please avoid the use of fragrances during your treatments.

Your progress

It is helpful if you keep track of any changes or reactions you are experiencing with your treatments.  Examples are a change in energy level, feeling cooler or warmer, decrease in pain level or change in location of pain, and changes in mental/emotional states.  

Please feel free to ask questions at anytime.
