Pre-Surgical Care
If you're feeling nervous and overwhelmed with thoughts, drop by the office and schedule some treatments before your surgery so that you can enter the operating room with positive thoughts and an overall positive mental wellbeing. Please notify your surgeon or your coordinating doctor that you are seeing an Acupuncturist, so that all providers are on the same page!
Post- Surgical Care
Your surgeon will provide certain outlines for you to follow once you are out of the operating room. All healing takes time! If you're concerned about scarring, or build-up of scar tissue, please consult with your surgeon prior to booking your consultation at Alma Acupuncture.
Post- Surgical care also addresses any restorative methods to help feeling like you again! Depending on the surgery, all treatment methods at Alma Acupuncture will focus on lowering your pain intensity and restoring your range of motion. Furthermore, Acupuncture is a low risk method that has the potential to lower the need for pain medications.
