In order to ease your concerns and make your experience as pleasant as possible, here is what you can expect when you visit an acupuncture clinic.

A Consultation

You can expect to have a consultation when you arrive at an acupuncture clinic. You will be asked a number of questions about your health and your lifestyle at this consultation. You will likely be asked about the symptoms you are experiencing if you have been diagnosed with a specific ailment, and what types of treatments you have attempted before. Your diet and activity levels may also be discussed, as well as other lifestyle questions.

A practitioner may also check your blood pressure and pulse during your consultation. In order to determine where to place the acupuncture needles, the acupuncturist may palpate different parts of your body. They may also examine your tongue. It might seem strange to have your tongue examined, but it provides important information that helps your acupuncturist make an accurate diagnosis and develop an effective treatment plan that is tailored for your specific needs. Make sure to answer the questions honestly it will ensure a better outcome.

Treatment

Treatment will begin after your consultation. A table will be set up in a private room for you to lie on during your appointment. Dress comfortably and loosely so that your acupuncturist can access the acupuncture points. After the meridian points are selected, the practitioner will insert sterile, hair-thin needles into your skin. But don’t worry! They will be shallowly inserted and so thin that they can barely be felt. In fact, most people who have used acupuncture report that they didn’t even notice the needles. In fact, they are so fine and inserted so shallowly that no blood will be drawn.

Your reaction will be assessed as the acupuncturist inserts the needles. Most people do not experience any pain; however, you may feel a slight twinge or even a bit of heat, but these feelings are so minimal that they quickly dissipate. In order to guarantee the best results, the practitioner will need to adjust them as necessary.

Relaxation Period

Once the needles have been adjusted and the acupuncturist has determined that you are comfortable, he or she will leave the room. An acupuncturist may return to check on you or make adjustments from time to time while you are alone in the room for about 30 minutes. The goal of this part of your appointment is to relax. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and enjoy the solitude.

Needle Removal

The practitioner will slowly remove the needles from your body after your time has expired. Again, this will be painless. Upon removing all of the needles, you can leave the clinic. Your acupuncturist may ask you how you’re feeling after the treatment and what you thought of the treatment. After you complete your appointment, you can return to your normal routine. Although no downtime is necessary, some do recommend some downtime if you wish to reap the full benefits. Consider taking things slowly the rest of the day, or even taking a nap.

The Results

Individual results may differ. After the first session, some people experience positive benefits, but for others, it may take a few sessions before they begin to feel the benefits.

Additional treatments are necessary to reap the full benefits of acupuncture. During your consultation, your practitioner will help you determine the most effective treatment timeline.

Some information about Hempstead, NY

The Town of Hempstead is one of the three towns in Nassau County in the U.S. state of New York. It occupies the southwestern part of the county, on the western half of Long Island. Twenty-two incorporated villages are completely or partially within the town. The town’s combined population was 759,757 at the 2010 census, which is the majority of the population of the county and by far the largest of any town in New York. In 2019, its combined population increased to an estimated 759,793 according to the American Community Survey.

The town was first settled around 1644 following the establishment of a treaty between English colonists, John Carman and Robert Fordham, and the Lenape Indians in 1643. Although the settlers were from the English colony of Connecticut, a patent was issued by the government of New Netherland after the settlers had purchased land from the local natives. This transaction is depicted in a mural in the Hempstead Village Hall, reproduced from a poster commemorating the 300th anniversary of Hempstead Village.

In local Dutch-language documents of the 1640s and later, the town was invariably called Heemstede, and several of Hempstead’s original 50 patentees were Dutch, suggesting that Hempstead was named after the Dutch town and/or castle Heemstede, which are near the cities of Haarlem and Amsterdam. However, the authorities possibly had Dutchified a name given by co-founder John Carman, who was born in 1606 in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, England, on land owned by his ancestors since the 13th century.

In 1664, the settlement under the new Province of New York adopted the Duke’s Laws, austere statutes that became the basis upon which the laws of many colonies were to be founded. For a time, Hempstead became known as ‘Old Blue’, as a result of the ‘Blue Laws’.
