Each persons experience with acupuncture, herbs, homeopathy and massage is different. You may or may not notice a significant change after your first treatment. Depending on the condition we are treating and the way your body reacts to the treatment it may take a few treatments to make a significant impact. Whether you notice a change or not the treatment is still effective.
Keep in mind that through acupuncture and massage we are facilitating the body in healing itself, we are not adding or taking things away. This means that we are working with your body's internal rhythms and timing.
Herbs and homeopathy as natural medicines will often take longer to change your body functioning than a pharmaceutical. These substances integrate slowly with your body chemistry, which is what makes them safer and causes fewer side effects than pharmaceuticals. If you experience any negative side effects such as diarrhea, headaches, nausea, etc. please do not hesitate to call me.
During acupuncture treatment you will feel varied sensations depending on the treatment methods used. Some common sensations you may experience from the needles are warmth, cold, tingling, heaviness, throbbing, if there is ever a sensation that you are uncomfortable with please let me know, we can always adjust the needles or change the points being used.
Sometimes you may feel sore or tired after a massage therapy treatment , other times you may feel energized and invigorated. These are both very normal reactions. Massage therapy flushes the muscles, lymph and circulatory systems of toxins and metabolic wastes, in the long run this leads to more flexibility and less pain, but can lead to a generalized soreness shortly after the treatment. Remember to drink plenty of water after your treatment, and take a warm bath if you do experience soreness.
