How to Prepare for Your Acupuncture Appointment
1. Eat a Light Meal
It’s best not to arrive on an empty stomach. Having a light snack or meal beforehand helps prevent lightheadedness and keeps your body steady during treatment. Avoid arriving overly full, though—comfort is key.
2. Wear Comfortable Clothing
Loose, comfortable clothing allows easy access to acupuncture points on your arms and legs. If that’s not possible, don’t worry—sheets and drapes are always available to keep you covered and comfortable.
3. Stay Hydrated
Drinking water before and after your appointment helps your body process the effects of acupuncture. Staying hydrated also supports circulation, which is key for healing and recovery.
4. Bring Your Questions
Acupuncture is collaborative. Bring any questions about your health, cycle, or treatment goals. This helps us create a plan tailored specifically to your needs.
5. Give Yourself Time
Whenever possible, avoid rushing to your appointment. Arriving a few minutes early helps you shift gears from your busy day and step into a more relaxed state, which sets the tone for your treatment.
6. After Your Appointment
Plan a little breathing room into your day if you can. Many people feel relaxed or even energized after acupuncture, but allowing yourself some time afterward helps you carry those effects into the rest of your day.
The Bottom Line
Preparing for acupuncture doesn’t require much—just a little attention to comfort, nourishment, and time. These small steps help you feel at ease and allow your treatment to work more effectively.
