Q: What will happen in initial session and follow-up sessions?
A: Your first appointment includes signing the consent forms, thorough initial intake, and interview and consultation on your chief complaint, medical history and overall health so that the practitioner can know your condition better . Plan to stay longer than 1 hour for the first visit.

Q: What should I wear for acupuncture treatment and preparation ...
A: It is recommended to wear loose and comfortable clothing to allow access to arms, legs and trunk. It is encouraged to have some food 1 hour before acupuncture; don't come with empty stomach. Ideally do not plan strenuous physical activity after the session, such as gym or running.
Q: How soon will I start to see changes?
A: It varies from person to person, depending on many factors. Main factors include age, how long the symptom has been present, level of severity, the psycho-emotional state aka the anxiety level (super important !!!), and the patient's general health condition. Acupuncture works on the root cause, and everyone's healing timeline is unique. Most people begin with 2 sessions per week for a few weeks, then decrease the treatment frequency as the condition improves. Acute issues may respond within 3-6 treatments; While chronic problems often require a structured 8-12 week cumulative plan before seeing steady changes. We map out your custom treatment plan during first couple sessions.
