On your first visit Rachel will discuss your needs and administer the first treatment. She will recommend follow up visits as needed. Generally patients are seen one time per week, every 2 weeks for anywhere from 2-4 visits depending on how acute or chronic the condition is. Some patients are seen once, then encouraged to call on an “as needed” basis.

Sessions last from 30 min to 1 hour. Needles used are sterile, disposable and used one time only. The number of needles used varies greatly from patient to patient.

You don’t need to wear any special clothing; you will be in a private room and gowns, sheets, and towels are provided. After a session it is common to feel tired and possibly sore. It is suggested you drink extra water and use heat to alleviate any soreness as needed.
