What to Expect During Your First Acupuncture Session

If you’re curious about acupuncture but unsure what it entails, here’s what you can expect:

1. Initial Consultation: Your acupuncturist will ask about your medical history and specific symptoms.

2. Preparation: You’ll lie comfortably while the acupuncturist sterilizes and prepares the needles.

3. Needle Insertion: The thin needles will be inserted into specific points on your body. Most people feel minimal to no discomfort.

4. Relaxation Period: After the needles are in place, you’ll rest for about 20-30 minutes. Some people feel a sense of deep relaxation.

5. Aftercare: You may feel a little tired or relaxed afterward, which is completely normal.
