Express any concerns you have as soon as they arise. Do not change your position or move suddenly, which may cause a muscle cramp. If you are uncomfortable, too hot or cold, tell me. Some people may experience cold sweat, dizziness, shortness of breath, or faintness during treatment. This often occurs if you are nervous.
Some patients experience immediate total or partial relief of their pain or other symptoms.
This relief may last or some pain may return. You may feel a sensation of deep relaxation or even mild disorientation immediately following the treatment. Occasionally, the original symptoms worsen for a few days. This should not cause concern, it is simply an indication that the acupuncture is starting to work. Generally, you should expect to feel better.
