At your initial consult at The Point of Wellbeing, you will be given a health questionnaire to fill in that will ask some detailed questions about your complaint, current medications and supplements and associated signs and symptoms. Your practitioner will then have a detailed chat with you about your complaint, your treatment goals, describe your diagnosis from a Chinese medicine point of view and discuss your treatment options and offer herbal, diet and lifestyle advice to assist with your treatment plan. An acupuncture treatment will then commence after you feel comfortable with this information and consent to treatment. You will get the chance to relax for 20 to 30 minutes before the needles are taken out.
Often after your first acupuncture treatment you can feel slightly light headed and very relaxed. It is recommended that you take some time after the treatment to drink water and ensure you feel ok to drive before leaving. We advise to avoid strenuous exercise after acupuncture, just enjoy the relaxing feeling for as long as possible.
If you have any more questions about your first acupuncture treatment, please contact us. We look forward to seeing you soon.
