Preparing for your First Acupuncture Treatment
During your first visit you’ll first complete the new patient paperwork, which includes your rights, disclosures, contact information, and medical history.
Please be sure to:
Bring a list of current medications you are taking, including prescriptions, over the counter medications, herbal supplements, and vitamins. Please also let us know of any allergies or sensitivities you have.
Bring any lab or medical reports relevant to your condition.
Wear comfortable, loose clothing with an undergarment. Depending on your treatment you may remain fully clothed. Gowns are always provided, and in some cases a gown is recommended for treatment.
Upon reviewing the form, our practitioners will discuss your past health and medical history, lifestyle, particular concerns you may have, and goals of treatment. The answers you provide to the questions, along with the other basic diagnostic tools (such as checking your tongue and feeling your pulse), allows our acupuncturists to individualize your treatment plan.
