FAQ

What should I wear?

Wear or bring loose fitting clothing to your acupuncture session, preferably a tank top and shorts.

Should I eat?

It is important to eat before you have an acupuncture treatment and best to avoid having any caffeine right before. 

What does it treat? 

Acupuncture treats athletic injuries, acute and chronic pain, stress, immune, and fatigue disorders, internal medical disorders of the respiratory, cardiopulmonary, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and reproductive systems. Some examples are: neck, shoulder, hip, knee and back pain, repetitive strain injuries (carpal tunnel, tennis elbow, plantar fascitis), sciatica and piriformis syndrome, headaches/migraines, insomnia, GYN disorders, nausea, constipation, diarrhea and IBS, substance abuse and cessation of smoking, allergies and sinusitis.

What about after my treatment?

After an acupuncture treatment it is best to relax. Avoiding alcohol, intense physical activity, heavy or deep fried foods, and sexual activity the day of the acupuncture session help the body adapt to the input of energy from the acupuncture session. Make sure to hydrate.

How will I feel after my treatment? 

Sensations vary from person to person. Most people feel very relaxed and a bit “out of it” for an hour or so. If you have muscle tension released, it is common to feel local soreness, which can last 12-48 hours post treatment. 

POLICIES

Cancellation Policy

Life happens. We understand that cancellations are sometimes unavoidable and will work with you to be as flexible as possible. However, last minute cancellations or no shows are costly and do not allow us to open our time up for others. Therefore, we have a 24-hour cancellation policy. You will be charged the full fee of the scheduled visit if you cancel less than 24 hours before the appointment or if you are a no show.

Lateness We allot a specific amount of time for your visit and are promptly ready for you at your appointment time. If you are late for your appointment, it will reduce your treatment time, however you will still be responsible for the appointment. 

Payments/Insurance

Currently we accept Cash, Check and Credit Card. Payment is due at the time service. 

We are out of network insurance providers. Once your coverage is confirmed, we will bill your insurance company directly.
