What Will Happen During My First Acupuncture Session?
During your first treatment at Cashel Chiropractic, Dr. Rob will take a complete health history and conduct a thorough evaluation of the condition for which you are seeking treatment. He will ask you questions about lifestyle as well as your condition.
Hair-thin needles will then be placed at specific acupuncture points on the body. The initial treatment may last between 1 and 1.5 hours, and all subsequent treatments are for 1 hour.
Is an Acupuncture Session Painful?
Acupuncture does not hurt. Acupuncture needles are extremely fine, almost like a stand of hair, and it is sometimes hard to even feel them being inserted.
