Acupuncture In Delray Beach, FL
Welcome to the Dunetz Wellness Center
You finally did it – you’ve scheduled your first appointment for acupuncture in Delray Beach. But you’re probably anxious – after all, you don’t know what to expect. To alleviate some of your anxiety, we’ve come up with this list of the top eight things you can expect from your first appointment for acupuncture with the Dunetz Wellness Center.
Top Eight Things To Expect From Your First Appointment For Acupuncture in Delray Beach
When you contact the Dunetz Wellness Center for your first appointment for acupuncture in Delray Beach, you can expect:
1. A receptionist that will greet you, calmly, and answer any topical questions you may have
When you come in for your first appointment for acupuncture in Delray Beach, our receptionist will greet you with a warm, friendly, and calm tone, thus setting the tempo for the rest of your time with us. She will then ask you to fill out some paperwork, for our records, and keep this information on file. Though our receptionist will not be able to answer all of the questions you may have about our process, she’ll be able to alleviate at least some of your concerns about getting acupuncture in Delray Beach.
2. A lengthy pre-treatment interview
The first time you get acupuncture, you’re going to go through an extensive interview process that will include you getting asked some questions you’ve never been asked before. While it is not our intent to make you uncomfortable with the nature of the questions, we need to have a complete understanding of your overall health in order to get you the best possible regimen for acupuncture in Delray Beach.
3. Looking at your tongue
This is probably going to be, for you, one of the strangest parts of the acupuncture process. However, before you get any kind of acupuncture in Delray Beach, we are going to need to do what’s called “observing the tongue.” Why? Because in holistic medicine, the tongue is to the body what the eyes are to the soul – the windows, the gateway, into a deeper understand of what’s going on beneath the surface. Things like the shape of the tongue, the location and color of the “fur” on the tongue, and any deviations from the norm will give us an insight into what ails you, and will allow us to prescribe the best possible regimen for acupuncture in Delray Beach.
4. The actual treatment process
After you go through what seems to be a barrage of questions, you’ll get to experience your first treatment. As a first-time patient of acupuncture in Delray Beach, you’ll probably experience sensations you’ve never felt before – though acupuncture doesn’t hurt, it does give a dull “throb” or “ache” in the area where the needle is placed. This unique sensation can prove to be a bit uncomfortable for someone who’s never received acupuncture in Delray Beach, but be rest assured: this is just your body being “triggered” to do what it’s supposed to do.
5. A barrage of seemingly unusual feelings during the treatment.
Getting acupuncture in Delray Beach can unleash a variety of emotions and sensations. You may feel like crying, or laughing, or shaking. You may want to get up and jump around (which isn’t recommended while you have the needles in your body!). You may even find yourself falling asleep, and getting a deeper, more restorative sleep than you’ve felt in a long time. All of these sensations – however out of place you may think they are – are completely normal.
6. Feeling the needles be moved, or getting another round of needle placements.
Depending on the type of acupuncture in Delray Beach you’re getting, you may find that during your treatment, you’ll feel the needles get moved (this is done to stimulate your chi). You may even find that you get a whole new round of needles placed in your body! Again, this is all normal, and be rest assured that this is done to help you achieve the results you want.
7. Getting herbal remedies for your use post-treatment
Because acupuncture in Delray Beach is a cumulative treatment (meaning that you won’t feel the effects right away, but you will after a series of treatments and other measures that work in conjunction with the treatments), we may recommend a regimen of herbal remedies to take post-treatment, so that your body can feel the full effects of the acupuncture treatment.
8. A series of strange sensations
If this is your first time receiving acupuncture in Delray Beach, you may find yourself feeling a wide variety of sensations that you’ve never felt before. You may feel light-headed, “spaced out,” or tired. This is all perfectly normal, which is why we recommend that, right after your acupuncture treatment, you take some time for yourself to relax and “come back into yourself.” Don’t schedule your acupuncture appointment before work or before a stressful event which requires you to be “all there,” because you simply will not be able to do it. Instead, for your first appointment, find a four-hour window of time that you can take strictly for yourself and for your well-being. This will give you enough time to come to the appointment, fill out all the paperwork, answer all the questions, obtain the treatment, and finally “come back into yourself” post-treatment.
