Q3:How should I prepare for my treatment?

On arrival you check in at the front desk and are led to a private treatment room. The practitioner does a comprehensive health evaluation and discusses the treatment plan, then selects and performs customized acupuncture points, followed by a 20 to 30 minute rest. A buzzer is provided to call the practice if needed. Cupping, massage, heat therapy or moxibustion may also be used.
