What to Expect at your Initial Acupuncture Appointment
What should I expect on my first visit?
An acupuncture appointment is similar any other form of medical treatment. Upon the patient's first visit, the practitioner will record basic biographical and historical health information about the patient, and will then proceed with the diagnostic framework of Traditional Chinese Medicine asking questions about your condition.
The purpose of the initial acupuncture consult is to determine if we will take on your case and if you are a good candidate for treatment. We will give our best recommendations of an individualized treatment plan for your case.

Does Acupuncture Hurt?
We utilizes very fine, sterile acupuncture needles in our clinic. In general acupuncture is not painful. When your practitioner inserts a needle, you will feel the insertion of the needle as a pinch and then you may feel a dull ache, or a feeling of electricity or tingling, a sensation of heat or cold, or it may just feel strange. Sometimes you can feel energy or Qi running up or down the body or a limb. If any point is uncomfortable, tell your practitioner right away so they can adjust or remove the needle. There are certain techniques or conditions that may require stronger stimulation on the needles to achieve more effective results. In these cases, painful sensations may be normal and will be discussed prior to treatment.
Is Acupuncture Safe are there any Risks?
In the hands of skilled practitioner, acupuncture is perfectly safe. However, there are some things to be aware of. Acupuncture is not permitted into scar tissue, infected skin with open wounds or open sores. Once needles are inserted, you should relax, try to lie still and not make any large movements, especially if you have needles in your back or chest.
