Avoid over exercise, sexual activity, and alcoholic beverages within six hours before or after treatment. Plan some rest, or at least avoid having to work at top performance, after treatment, especially after the first few visits. Continue to take prescription medications as directed by your regular doctor. Substance abuse and smoking will seriously interfere with acupuncture's effectiveness. Observe and keep track of your response to treatment, so that we can better work with you to optimize your therapy.
Policies differ among insurance companies.
Check with your insurance company for specifics regarding your coverage. If you have other questions concerning acupuncture, please do not hesitate to ask. We will do our best to answer them.
