There are things that patients have to be aware of before, during and after surgery. The same goes for those who undergo acupuncture because in order to enhance the value of the treatment, there are some dos and donts that patients have to follow.
First, you should not eat a large meal before or after treatment.
You should also avoid over exercising, engaging in a sexual activity or consume alcoholic beverages 6 hours before and after treatment.
Since the acupuncture session will last from 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on how often you have to go to the clinic, you better fix your schedule so you have time to rest.
Chances are, you were consulting with a doctor prior to your visit to the acupuncturist. If there are any prescription medicines given, dont forget to take them.
You will not feel any improvement after just one or two visits with the acupuncturist. Just the same, you should write this down so you can go back to the acupuncturist on your next visit and tell him or her how you felt during the previous session. Such feedback will let the specialist know what needs to be modified in the future to help you with your problem....
