A Few More Things We Need To Know

ANY CHANGES TO YOUR MEDICAL HISTORY…

• New diagnosis? New pregnancy? New medications? We need to know. Please tell us, as some medical conditions and medications are not compatible with energy-based treatments. It may be necessary to reschedule your appointment, as your health and safety are always our top priority!

IF YOU GET COLD SORES…

• If you have a history of HSV-1 or HSV-2 and we are treating those areas, we recommend you take an antiviral medication starting 24-48 hours before your treatment to help prevent an outbreak, and continuing for three to five days after. Contact your primary care provider if you need prescription medication.
