Before Your First Visit

- • Ask about package pricing — many practices discount multi-session packages, since acupuncture often works over a course of treatments.
- • Eat a light meal beforehand — treatment on an empty stomach can leave you lightheaded.
- • Wear loose clothing — the practitioner needs access to points on the arms, legs, and torso.
- • Confirm the credential — look for L.Ac. (Licensed Acupuncturist) and NCCAOM certification.
