FIRST TIME PATIENTS

Your first visit to the clinic will usually last about 60 minutes. Your appointment will begin with an in-depth intake and discussion about your health, health history, concerns about your health and goals you may have for your treatments. Part of our diagnostic process includes a review of your tongue and pulse palpation. This first full intake is an important diagnostic process necessary to fully understand and address your health concerns, as well as the preparation of an appropriate treatment plan tailored to you.

After the intake and assessment, we will begin the acupuncture treatment. Once the needles have been inserted and you are comfortable, you will rest in your treatment for approximately 20 minutes. During this time your body is making adjustments and moving qi, it is vital to allow the appropriate amount of time for this process.

FOLLOW UP PATIENTS

Most often, your follow up visits will lasts 45 minutes. I will begin with a brief review of signs and symptoms, tongue and pulse review. Treatments are based on individual needs and reactions to acupuncture. Treatment plans are always individualized and reviewed at each appointment. If you have questions about whether acupuncture is right for you, please call the clinic. I am always looking forward to hearing from you.
