Before your appointment: eat a light meal beforehand, wear loose, comfortable clothing that can be rolled up above the elbows and knees, and complete your intake forms before your scheduled visit. Bring a list of any medications or supplements you take.
Let your practitioner know if you are pregnant or may be pregnant, take blood-thinning medication, have a bleeding disorder, or have a pacemaker or other implanted electrical device, since these can affect which techniques are suitable for you.
During and after your acupuncture treatment: you rest on a treatment table while fine, sterile, single-use needles stay in place for part of the session, and some people find this time relaxing. Afterward, drink water, take it easy for the rest of the day if you feel tired, and note any changes in your symptoms so you can discuss them at your next visit.
Acupuncture for back pain, neck pain and other concerns can be combined with other services at iGood Health Centre, such as chiropractic care, physiotherapy or massage therapy, when your practitioners agree it fits your plan. Many extended health plans include coverage, so check your plan’s annual maximum and which practitioner credentials it accepts before you book.
