Treatment Process

Preparation before treatment

• Cannot be treated on an empty stomach. Follow your regular meal schedule prior to treatment.

• Please bring a list of the medicines you take frequently, and if you have a doctor's diagnosis report, you should bring it as well.

• Our clinic does not provide treatment clothing. Please wear clothing that is loose and easy to take off. For your treatment, please plan to wear a tank top and shorts.

During the treatment

• A 30-minute body warm-up upon arrival at the clinic

• Consultation: answering the acupuncturist's questions and sharing your medical history

• The acupuncturist may feel your pulse and look at your tongue as needed

• If needed, the acupuncturist will do some motor function tests of your limbs

• When you enter the treatment room, you may lie prone or supine or on your side on the treatment bed according to the doctor's requirements. At this time, the acupuncturist may ask you to remove some of your clothing as required for the treatment. You will keep your tank top and shorts on. Don't worry, the temperature in the treatment room will be set for your comfort.

• You can talk about how you feel at any time during treatment. Generally, the needles are kept for 30 minutes while soft music is played. Patients are encouraged to relax as much as possible; if they are able to sleep for a while, the therapeutic effect will be enhanced.

Number and Frequency of Treatments

How many treatments are required for healing? People often ask this question. The number of treatments will vary depending on the condition. Acute treatment works quickly and requires fewer treatments. Chronic diseases or more complex conditions require a longer time of several months or years, and sometimes depending on the condition may require daily treatment or twice weekly treatment. The requirement varies by condition.
