When you come to your first acupuncture appointment, there are several questions you may want to ask to help you better understand the treatment and what to expect. Here are a few examples:
What are the practitioner’s qualifications?
It’s important to make sure that your practitioner is licensed and properly trained in acupuncture.
What conditions does the practitioner specialize in treating? Not all practitioners treat the same conditions, so it’s a good idea to ask if they have experience treating your specific condition.
How many treatments will I need? This can vary depending on the condition being treated, but it’s good to have an idea of how many treatments you’ll need.
What should I expect during the treatment? Some people may be apprehensive about the needles, so it’s helpful to know what to expect during the treatment.
Are there any side effects? While acupuncture is generally considered to be safe, there are some minor side effects that can occur such as pain or bleeding at the needle insertion site.
What are the costs and payment options? Knowing the costs and the payment options beforehand will help you to plan the budget.
It’s also a good idea to let your practitioner know about any medications you’re taking or any health conditions you have. This will help them to determine if acupuncture is appropriate for you.
