•Do not eat an unusually large meal immediately before or after your treatment.
•Do not over-exercise, engage in sexual activity, or consume alcoholic beverages within 6 hours after the treatment.
•Plan your activities so that after the treatment you can get some rest, or at least not have to be working at top performance. This is especially important for the first few visits.
•Continue to take any prescription medications directed by your regular doctor. Substance abuse (drugs and alcohol), especially in the week prior to treatment, will seriously interfere with the effectiveness of acupuncture treatments.
•Remember to keep good mental or written notes of what your response is to the treatment. This is important for your doctor to know so that the follow-up treatment can be designed to best help you and your problem.
