Welcome to the Chinese Acupuncture Center at Princeton, NJ. To ensure your experience is relaxing and produces optimal results, we want to take the time to explain a few preliminary office procedures.
- Please fill out and sign our downloadable forms (on right) before your appointment.
- Each patient is required to sign a consent form at the time of your appointment. These forms are required by our malpractice insurance carrier.
- Your first consultation with the doctor is to discuss your health problems.
- The examination procedures are used to determine if acupuncture care is appropriate for your condition.
- Acupuncture treatment procedures and your recommended treatment program will be explained to you.
- Treatments will begin and continue as scheduled until your condition has been fully corrected, or until the maximum possible improvement has been obtained.
- Treatment time: we ask that you allow adequate time for an effective treatment. Please allow yourself 1 hour for the first visit, and 30 minutes for each subsequent treatment.
- Please wear loose comfortable clothing to the appointment. In most cases, the practitioner can administer the treatment by shifting your clothing or asking you to remove some articles. If your treatment necessitates fully undressing, we will provide treatment gowns to make you feel as comfortable as possible.
- For your own safety, please maintain good hygiene. Before coming to your acupuncture appointment, it is important to shower especially if you have been engaging in any physical activity or during warm weather.
- We recommend a small healthy snack approximately 1 hour before your treatment. Skipping meals before your treatment may cause you to feel dizzy or light-headed. Following your treatment, you are advised to drink ample room temperature or warm water.
