Regardless of its growing popularity, electro therapy is still mysterious to many people. Especially, after getting conjoined with electricity, many people have started assuming that this therapy is risky. While the improvement in fertility or effective treatments of medical conditions are not proven scientifically, there is evidence that suggests its effective role in pain management and relieving stress.
The following are some important aspects that you must discuss with your acupuncturist before taking the electronic acupuncture therapy.
Ask About Certification
Ask the acupuncturist about the certification he/she has. If an acupuncturist fail to provide proper certification to conduct the treatment, do not go for the therapy. Individuals who do not possess proper certification to perform acupuncture treatment can harm your body by inserting the thin needles inappropriately.
Areas Where Needles Should Be Injected
There are proper points of acupuncture. Learn a little about them before you head to the acupuncturist. This way you will know if he/she is a professional and performing the treatment properly. Ask where the needles should be injected so that you have a better idea about the treatment.
Sessions of Treatment
Even professional and experienced acupuncturist may not be able to give you the exact answer to this one. However, they can provide you with estimates to give you an idea about the sessions you may need depending on the results of the treatment. Only when you will reach near the optimal results, you may be able to know the exact number of sessions.
Preparation for Sessions
Different acupuncturist may recommend you different set of preparations to complete before the treatment session. You must follow according the guidelines of your acupuncturist. However, there are some generic recommendations such as eating light food before the treatment to maintain a healthy level of blood sugar.
Post Treatment Activities
Again, you must follow what your acupuncturist tells you. However, in general, avoid overeating and performing strenuous activities. Professional acupuncturists believe that heavy meals or strenuous activities may disrupt the flow of energy after the treatment.
Side Effects
Do not ignore to discuss the side effects since practitioners of acupuncture will guide you best. Side effects and risks are facts that you must be aware of before you begin with the treatment.
These important questions must be asked in order to get the best results from electro therapy of acupuncture from a professional acupuncturist. More knowledge before the treatment is always useful.
