What Can I Expect From Acupuncture?
Dr Gregory will want to know a lot about you in order to understand how to treat you. It's normal to answer a lot of questions, especially at your first visit.
Everyone experiences acupuncture differently. Some patients feel warmth, heaviness, pulsations, or very mild aching at the needle site. Patients tend to notice relief or changes in symptoms 24 to 48 hours after their appointment, and sometimes results can even be immediate; individual results vary. Come prepared to take it easy for 30 to 45 minutes on the table. The needles do their work while you rest!
It will probably take a few sessions before you start feeling noticeably better; always discuss reasonable expectations with Dr Gregory. Don't delay treatment! Early intervention is far more likely to be successful. Depending on your issue, you might be required to make dietary or lifestyle changes or take herbal medicine in order to maximize results.
What Can I Expect From Herbal Medicine?
Should herbal medicine be necessary, you will be provided with a formula in granulated or powdered form that is made into a tea by adding hot water. Very often you will take this formula twice a day for a certain amount of time, as needed. Chinese herbal medicine is primarily plant-based, although a few herbs are minerals or derived from animals - you will always be advised of the contents of your specific formula.
Chinese herbal medicine is gentle, relatively safe and has little to no side effects when taken responsibly. Always discuss any and every medication you are on so as to minimize any possible herb-drug interactions. As long as Dr Gregory is aware of all your current medications, there is no need to be worried about taking Chinese herbal medicine.
