How should I prepare for my first treatment?
Before you come to your first appointment you will be asked to fill out a health history questionnaire. This information helps us to get an idea of what your symptoms are and what the best way to help you is.
​
Come to your first appointment wearing comfortable clothes, this will make it easier to do your assessments and treatment. Shorts a great to wear or bring along with you.
What should I expect from my first session?
Your first session will consist of three parts. The entire treatment is generally an hour and fifteen minutes to an hour and thirty minutes long.
​
1. First we will sit and discuss your main reasons for coming in for treatment and go over your health history. This includes topics like areas of pain, history of illnesses, any symptoms you are experiencing, your lifestyle, nutrition, and stress level.
​
2. Second we will do assessments of the body to determine which areas need to be addressed and what treatments are going to be most effective to help.
​
3. Lastly you will have your first treatment. This includes acupuncture needling and for many conditions other manual techniques are also used like cupping, guasha/graston and manual therapy,
What if I am nervous about the needles or another aspect of treatment?
If you are feeling nervous about any aspect of treatment we will take things slow and check in with you about how you are doing and feeling throughout your treatments.

Always have an open line of communication with your acupuncturist so they can help to make sure you are comfortable.
