What to Expect

 

 

 

Please wear loose and comfortable clothing when you come for your treatment.  Make sure that you have eaten a light meal.  

 

INITIAL CONSULTATION:

 

The first appointment is typically a 90 minute consultation and treatment.  The objective of the first appointment is to assess the underlying conditions that have led to your current concerns and to plan an appropriate treatment strategy.  During this visit we will speak at length about your health concerns and address any questions you may have about acupuncture and the healing process. Next, I will listen to your pulse, examine your tongue and palpate your abdomen to confirm your diagnosis. You will then receive your treatment. 

 

 

FOLLOW-UP TREATMENTS:

Your follow-up treatment will focus primarily on your main complaint as well as any relevant concerns that have developed. Follow-up treatments last approximately 45 minutes.
