How often should I receive treatments? 

Frequency of treatment is dependent on the nature of your health concern. In general, acute conditions respond more favorably to acupuncture and 3-6 treatments are needed to address the problem, depending on how chronic or acute the problem is. Regardless, you should feel the benefits after the first session.

What does it feel like?

Acupuncture is generally painless, but different sensations can be felt. Common experiences include a feeling of warmth, lightness, slight heaviness, or an achy feeling depending on the point. Patients often become deeply relaxed on the table and fall asleep during the treatment. 

What should I due after a treatment?

Similar to massage, I always recommend drinking plenty of water and resting. This allows the treatment to settle in, especially if you’re receiving a sports medicine treatment. Some treatments can take 12-24 hours until the effects are felt as things shift inside the body. Soreness is normal after cupping therapy, and usually subsides by the evening or next day.
