Are you considering acupuncture in Frederick but unsure what your first visit will be like? At AMC Maryland, we understand that starting a new form of care—especially one involving needles—can feel intimidating. That’s why we’ve designed every step of your first acupuncture appointment to be comfortable, informative, and tailored to your unique health needs.
What Makes Acupuncture in Frederick at AMC Maryland Unique?
At our Frederick clinic, we focus on more than just symptom relief. We look at the whole picture—your lifestyle, stress levels, nutrition, and health history—to build a personalized treatment plan. Led by Jessica Miksa, LAc, our team offers an integrative approach that combines traditional needling techniques with modern therapies like ATP Resonance BioTherapy™ and O3 ReBoot Therapy™.
Before You Arrive
Once you schedule your initial consultation, you’ll receive a short intake form to help us learn about your concerns and goals. We ask questions about your sleep, digestion, mood, and medical history to ensure that your acupuncture treatment addresses the root cause of your symptoms—not just the surface issues.
What Happens During Your First Acupuncture Appointment?
Your visit begins with a one-on-one conversation in a calm, welcoming environment. Jessica will walk you through what acupuncture is, how it works, and how it may benefit your specific condition—whether it’s chronic pain, hormonal imbalance, or anxiety.
Once you’re comfortable, you’ll receive your first acupuncture session. The needles are ultra-thin and most patients report little to no discomfort. You’ll lie back and relax, often for about 20–30 minutes. Many people find the experience deeply calming—some even fall asleep!

Next Steps and Ongoing Care
After your first visit, Jessica will provide treatment recommendations and work with you to set realistic health goals. Some patients feel noticeable relief after the first session; others benefit from a series of visits. Our goal is to guide you toward long-term wellness—without the use of invasive procedures or medications.
