Every session should begin with a conversation and a clear explanation of the approach. Your comfort, informed consent and practitioner assessment guide the experience.
Before treatment, discuss your goals, health history, current medicines, pregnancy status and any concerns about needles. The practitioner should explain the planned points, expected sensations and potential risks.
Only sterile, single-use needles should be used. The practitioner should follow appropriate hygiene and sharps-disposal standards and should welcome questions throughout the session.
Acupuncture is not appropriate for every person or every concern. Let your practitioner know about bleeding disorders, immune-system concerns, fainting with needles or other relevant medical factors.
