What should I do after an acupuncture treatment?
You may feel a little light-headed after your treatment. If so, please have a seat in the reception room or take a short walk around our building. In a few minutes, you will feel relaxed and clear-headed.
Occasionally you may get a small hematoma (a little bruise under the skin) after an acupuncture needle is removed. This is not a cause for concern--it will go away after a few days. Gentle pressure will stop any small amount of bleeding that is occurring under the skin.
We recommend that you refrain from physical exertion immediately after your treatment. In particular, do not overuse the area that is being treated. This can cause tenderness and sensitivity to the area, and irritate your condition.
