Remedi Healthcare is committed to your health and wellbeing. Treatment is always thorough, caring and individualised to meet your unique healthcare needs. In fact Remedi is spelled with an ‘i’' to emphasise ‘individualised’ rather than ‘one size fits all’ healthcare. During your first consultation Joanne will discuss in detail your health concerns, prior treatment, full personal and family medical history and overall physical and emotional health. If you have recent lab test results, imaging or specialist reports please bring them to your appointment along with a complete list of all your medications and supplements. Once your comprehensive health assessment has been completed Joanne will then recommend an individualised treatment plan, set health goals and answer all your questions before treatment begins. She may also refer you to another health practitioner if additional specialist assessment or care is required.
Your individualised treatment plan will usually include acupuncture and/or herbal medicine but may also incorporate moxibustion, cupping, guasha and dietary, exercise or lifestyle advice to enhance health outcomes and importantly prevent disease relapse. Joanne recommends wearing loose clothing to your appointment as you will usually be laying down for treatment and many common acupuncture points are located on the arms and legs. She also recommends eating a light meal, ensuring you are well hydrated and avoiding alcohol and stimulants before a treatment. Please also avoid wearing perfumes, colognes and other heavy scents, which linger in the air, as we commonly treat patients with allergies, asthma and chemical sensitivities in the clinic.
Acupuncture is amongst the safest interventions in modern medicine and most people report a feeling of deep relaxation during and after treatment. If possible give yourself time to rest for the remainder of the day after treatment, but it's not essential. During your course of therapy you may also notice other health issues improve over time as the treatment acts globally on your whole body to improve overall health and wellbeing.
Here's some more information on how to prepare for your acupuncture appointment.
