Before/After Appointment----Acupuncture Pain Care in Greensboro, High Point, Kernersville, Winston-Salem, the piedmont at North Carolina (NC)

Wear loose clothing.
Avoid treatment when excessively hungry or full.
Notify us if you have a pacemaker, are on anticoagulants, or if you are pregnant.
Your first visit will be longer (about 75 minutes) than follow-up visits (45 minutes) because your initial visit includes a review of your medical history, and an introduction to various oriental medical practices. Finally, specific points will be selected for the actual treatment, and you will receive an estimate for the number of treatments needed for your condition.

During and immediately after treatment you may feel relaxed and centered, have increased energy, or feel tired for a time. If you feel tired, try to rest for 15 to 20 minutes or more. If you have increased energy, don't over-do on it.
You may feel mild heaviness, tingling or electric sensation either around the needle or traveling up or down the affected meridian, or energy pathway. This sensation is not uncomfortable, and the entire session is often quite relaxing.
You may have a delayed reaction in up to 24 hours after your treatment, at which time you may notice a lessening of pain or symptoms.
Some joint and muscle aches may feel more uncomfortable for up to 24 hours before they get better.
Heavy exercise should be postponed for two hours after treatment to allow the body to adjust to changes from acupuncture. Otherwise, light exercise would be helpful for energy flow.
There may be significant change in your condition after one or two sessions, especially with acute problems. With more long-term problems, it is not unusual to require six to ten treatments before seeing significant changes. Acupuncture is a process that works in a cumulative manner to aid the body toward health.
Four to six treatments may be needed after symptoms are relieved to stabilize the condition, ensure long-term relief, and improve general health.
