  2. Clarify the treatment methodsRequest a plain-language explanation of acupuncture, cupping, deep needling, shockwave therapy, herbs or facial treatments before agreeing to a plan.
  3. Ask what assessment comes firstFind out whether the appointment includes muscle and nerve assessment, biomechanical evaluation, lifestyle review or another intake relevant to your concern.
  4. Compare the role of exercises or self-careIf recovery between appointments matters, ask whether the clinic provides stretches, corrective movements, dietary guidance, food therapy or other follow-up support.
