• Initial consultation with acupuncturist in treatment room, regarding current body condition.

Step 2: Treatment (20~35 minutes)

• Acupuncture is a less painful, natural, and safe healing treatment. It involves inserting needles at specific points on the body.
   
• Electro-acupuncture may involve a small electrical current applied to the needles.
   
• Sensations like heaviness, numbness, warmth, tingling, or electrical feelings are normal and not painful.
   
• Additional treatment may include cupping, bleeding, or moxibustion.
   

Step 3: Finalization (5~10 minutes)

• Needles are immediately disposed of in a sharps container after treatments.
   
• Acupuncturist will discuss a brief post-treatment inquiry.
   
• Recommendations may be provided to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.

• Avoid taking a bath or showering right after an acupuncture treatment.
   
• Avoid vigorous exercise or exposure to extreme hot or cold temperature after the treatment.
   
• After your treatment, you may feel relaxed, energized, and refreshed. Try to reflect on how you feel physically, mentally, and emotionally leading up to your next appointment. Please inform your practitioner at your next visit of any positive or negative changes.
