Acupuncture Care
What to Expect: It is normal to experience temporary effects that usually resolve within 24-48 hours. You may feel deeply relaxed, mildly tired, or notice temporary soreness, tenderness, bruising, warmth, or tingling at the needle sites. Some people experience immediate symptom relief, while others notice gradual improvement over the next few days or after several treatments. Occasionally, symptoms may temporarily fluctuate before they begin to improve.

- DO keep moving. Light walking, stretching, or other gentle activities unless advised otherwise.

DON'TS
