Education
Your First Acupuncture Visit
Knowing what happens eases first-visit nerves.
What to expect
A health intake, needle placement (often painless), and rest time; some feel relaxed or energized after.
What the evidence says
Most people tolerate treatment well; effects often build over several sessions.
Educational summary, not medical advice. Evidence evolves — discuss options with a licensed provider.
When to see a physician
Tell your practitioner about pregnancy, bleeding disorders, or a pacemaker before treatment.
