How often do you recommend an acupuncture treatment?
The frequency of your acupuncture treatments will be directly related to the severity of the issue we are addressing.
For example, if your problem is acute and severe, treatments might be as frequent as every two days until resolved.
-
Are there any risks associated with acupuncture treatment?
Soreness and slight bleeding or bruises at the needle insertion points are occasional side effects. However, if you receive acupuncture from a qualified, licensed practitioner who uses sterile needles, the risks of acupuncture are minimal.
-
What are the differences between Kampo and other forms of herbal medicine?
To learn about the differences between Kampo, Japanese herbal medicine, and traditional Chinese herbal medicine, please read my comparison article.
-
When is the best time to book acupuncture treatment?
I generally recommend acupuncture when you have an issue in an acute (sudden onset) or “flare-up” stage.
For example, if you have a history of headaches I would suggest you see me in-between headaches so we can work on the root causes of the issue. These sessions will also help to lessen the frequency of occurrence.
Of course, you can also choose to come see me while you are experiencing a headache (or before one is just about to start). In this case, I will offer acupuncture along with bodywork in order to effectively reduce and resolve the problem.
-
What should I wear during my treatment?
This is ultimately up to you, though please do not wear jeans during your treatment.
Some people like to wear loose-fitting clothing, like track pants or shorts and a t-shirt. Others strip to their underwear and choose to be draped with a sheet.
-
What is your cancellation policy?
Please provide at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
If you do not provide at least 24 hours notice, or if you do not show up for your appointment, you will be charged the full amount of your scheduled treatment.
I value your business and appreciate your cooperation in adhering to this policy. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
