You always want to wear comfortable, loose fitting clothes to your acupuncture sessions. Some patients feel more comfortable bringing their own shorts to change into for acupuncture on their hip but I also provide gowns. Often patients undress to the level of their under garments, put on a gown, and I will drape them with a sheet in order to get the points I need while protecting their modesty. Some patients don't want the gown and are comfortable just being in their underwear. I don't mind either way as my goal is to make the patient as comfortable as possible. Courtney Winter, L.Ac.
