    Acupuncture Treatment Guidelines

    acupuncture is one of our clinic's most popular treatments, it is also it's most unique; as such, please observe the following guidelines when receiving treatment:

    1. It is best to wear comfortable, loose fitting clothes. During a treatment, we might need to access various parts of your body, usually your arms, legs, abdomen and back. If you are coming from work, we have hangers for your business clothes and we will provide you with a cover during your treatment.
    2. Be sure to eat something during the mealtime prior to your visit. It is very important to have nourishment in your system dur- an acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture utilizes your body's energy much like an exercise session would, and if your blood ing sugar is low, you will not respond as quickly to the acupuncture treatments. Please ask us for a snack if you need one.
    3. Allow plenty of time for your visit. You will need to spend about 11/2 to 2 hours at the clinic during your initial visit. This time allows you to complete our initial paperwork, and allows us to ask you many questions, obtain an accurate diagnosis of your condition and give you an acupuncture treatment. Most of your return visits will last about 1 hour to 1¹/2 hours. Please let us know if you require a quicker treatment.
    4. The practice of acupuncture is a licensed medical specialty in the State of Iowa. As such, it is regulated by the Iowa Board of MedicalExaminers, located at 400 SW 8th Street, Suite C, Des Moines, Iowa 50309-4686, phone: 515-281-5171. The medical board requires us to state the following:
      The practice of acupuncture in Iowa does not authorize a person to practice medicine and surgery in this state, and the services of an acupuncturist must not be regarded as diagnosis and treatment by a person licensed to practice medicine and must not be regarded as medical opinion or advice.
      All Practitioners are in full compliance with all regulations and rules promulgated by the Iowa Department of Public Health.
    5. Elizabeth and William Terrell, L. Ac., MSOM practice acupuncture according to Traditional Chinese Medical (TCM)Theory. Please ask for your diagnosis and TCM medical references.
    6. The iowa acupuncture clinic exclusively uses sterile, disposable, single use acupuncture needles.
    7. If you have any questions, or concerns before, during or after your acupuncture, please call our clinic.
