What should I do to prepare for the treatment?

First your Practioner will diagnose your condition using your signs and symptoms, your Doctors diagnosis, and your pulse and tongue.  Next, needles will be placed in well chosen points to effect change.  Any extra modality that will benifit your condition will be applied (see "modalities").  Then you will rest for about 20-30 minutes.

What should I expect after the treatment?

You should feel relaxed and maybe even a little tired.  You should experience relaxed energy for days to follow and sleep well for the first few nights.  Depending on your condition, you may see immediate relief to one degree or another of your symptoms.

How many treatments will I need, and how frequently should I come?

The answer to that depends on how severe the condition is and how long you have had it.  A condition that is acute may take only one or two treatments to resolve, while a chronic condition may take more treatments with greater frequency.  It is, however, not unusual for a chronic condition to see results immediately.
