Preparation Guide
Before Your First Visit
A few simple steps to help you get the most out of your first acupuncture appointment.
Complete Your Paperwork
Download and fill out the new patient forms above. Bring the completed forms to your appointment or arrive 15 minutes early to fill them out in the office.
Eat a Light Meal
Have a light meal or snack 1–2 hours before your appointment. Avoid coming on an empty stomach, as this can affect how you feel during treatment.
Wear Comfortable Clothing
Loose, comfortable clothing is ideal. Treatment often requires access to your arms, legs, and back, so layers you can easily adjust are helpful.
Bring Your Insurance Card
If you plan to use insurance, bring your insurance card and any referral documentation. We accept most major medical plans, personal injury liens, and workers' compensation.
