Surgery Support Series
This series consists of 1 Acupuncture and 1 Healing Touch treatment pre-surgery, and 2 Acupuncture and 2 Healing Touch post surgery per physician’s approval.
Our goal with the Surgery Support Series is to facilitate and support the client both as they get ready for their surgical procedure and during their recovery with the use of Acupuncture to facilitate the optimal reduction in blood loss, assist with stress and pain management during the surgical procedure and pain and inflammation during the post op time period. Healing Touch treatments coupled with Guided Imagery for Successful Surgery are used to reduce stress and anxiety.
The spouse/partner/parent are also included in this Series whether they are the surgical patient or the caregiver.
What To Expect
When you arrive for your appointment, your practitioner will do a brief medical history and discuss your wellness goals. They will provide materials for your recovery at home. Please know that you can also take advantage of our telehealth sessions after your surgery.
Your treatment session will include Guided Imagery and other tools. You may fall asleep while receiving care. This is common and your practitioner will awaken you when the session is over. They will review any recommendations for home care with you before you leave.
