Frequently Asked Questions:

The sooner you come in, the better and the closer we work together, the faster the results. This includes but is not limited to: diet adjustments, lifestyle changes and sticking to a consistant treatment schedule.

    Also be sure to wear comfortable clothing that allows the practitioner to easily access your legs, arms and abdomen.

    Loose fitting pants and shirts are best!

    A moment of uncomfortablitiy or a quick "pinch" is normal, but if the needle feels painful, burning or stinging for more than that moment then they should inform the practitioner and have the needle adjusted.
