To make your experience with Stone Wellness successful and enjoyable year after year, we are providing you with our updated clinic policies and procedures. This is to answer questions about everything from your treatments and home care to appointment scheduling. If you have any further questions, please call us at 941-896-9746 or email our front office at jen.stonewellness@gmail.com.
PRIOR TO YOUR TREATMENT APPOINTMENT
It is important to eat something before your acupuncture treatment, but equally important not to overeat. A meal or snack within three hours of your treatment is best. It is recommended not to over-exercise or consume alcohol within a six hours period before or after your treatment. Some treatments may require the wearing of a gown, but most often wearing loose, comfortable clothing will be sufficient.
POST TREATMENT APPOINTMENT
After your treatment, it is best to take it easy. If you must return to work after your treatment, we recommend minimizing your level of intensity when possible.
SCHEDULING DETAILS - changes & cancellations
We understand that unexpected things come up from time to time, and if that involves needing to reschedule or cancel your appointment, when possible, kindly provide a minimum of 24 hours’ notice for these changes. There is a $45 charge for missed or cancelled appointments with less than 24 hours’ notice. Tardiness of 10 minutes may be accommodated, however any lost time due to such circumstances will be forfeited.
Your first visit may last up to an hour and a half, which will include an intake interview, evaluation, and initial treatment. Subsequent visits will last one hour or less., and will include a brief update/evaluation and treatment.
