If you would like, before you arrive you can fill out the initial paperwork – this will save you time once you get to the clinic. Click on the link below to download a PDF file of the Health History form, then print and fill it out, and bring it with you to your first visit.

You will be treated in a comfortable, “zero-gravity” reclining chair. The chairs are easy on all your joints, including the back. All conditions can be treated while reclining on one of these chairs, including back problems. Most needles are inserted from the knees down and between the elbows and the hands.

Some more helpful tips to ensure your treatment goes smoothly:

• Try to arrive a few minutes early to relax, check in, have some water or visit the restroom if you need to.
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing that can be easily pulled up above the knees and elbows. Wear a tank top if your acupuncturist needs access to your neck or shoulders.
• Make sure to have something to eat 1 to 2 hours before your appointment (don’t arrive on an empty stomach or feeling very full).
• If you brush your tongue and/or usually wear make-up, try to skip it the day of your treatment to allow for a more realistic assessment.
• Please don’t wear perfumes, lotions, or aftershave – some scents can cause migraines in certain people.
• Avoid coffee, alcohol, sugar, and greasy foods before your treatments.
• Talk in a soft voice to maintain a relaxing atmosphere and not disturb other clients.
• Respect the privacy of other clients - if you happen to overhear someone else’s private information, please keep it to yourself - you’d want others to do the same for you.
• Let us know if you need to be somewhere after your treatment so we can make sure that you’re out on time.
