Come in your most comfy and relaxing clothes if you can. For acupuncture it is best that you wear pants that you can roll up to your knees and sleeves that you can roll up to your elbows.

For all treatment modalities treatments depend on the situation. For acute pain or conditions sometimes one to two treatments is all that is needed.

It is important to note that sometimes pain can get worse with treatment before it gets better.
