What you need to know before, during and after your treatment
Before your treatment
- To prepare for your treatment, it's a good idea to eat something, preferably nutritious.
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that can be rolled up above the knees and elbows.
- Come in 15 minutes before your first session to complete your intake paperwork.
- Feel free to ask your acupuncturist any questions you may have before your treatment - and anytime during the treatment.
During your treatment
- To help you budget your time, you can expect to be at Healing Foundations for 30 to 45 minutes for a group acupuncture treatment and 45 to 60 minutes for a private treatment.
- Your first appointment may last up to 90 minutes to include the intake process.
- Private treatments may include modalities such as electrical stimulation or cupping.
- Herbal and Chinese nutritional counseling can be done in conjunction with your treatments or as separate sessions.
After your treatment
- Please follow through with your treatment plan.
- To maximize benefits and promote healing, be consistent with your appointments.
- Frequency of treatments depends not only on the length and severity of the condition but also on how you respond to the treatment.
