In community acupuncture it’s all about you. At the first appointment we will probably chat a little longer, but once the needles are in it’s up to you. Most people like to rest with the needles in for 45 minutes but you can leave them in for as little as 20 and still get good results. If you need to be woken up at a certain time, just let your acupuncturist know and she’ll be sure to wake you.
