Initial Consultation
This appointment will last 90 minutes and includes an introductory acupuncture treatment. During this visit, you will be interviewed regarding your current condition, lifestyle, and overall health. Relevant medical history will be reviewed and you are encouraged to bring any recent lab work, imaging reports (x-rays, MRI, ultrasound, etc.), current medication lists, or any other information you would like to provide. After performing any necessary diagnostics and examinations, we will discuss your current concerns and develop a treatment plan tailored to your wellness goals.
Follow-Up Treatments
A regular session will last around 60 minutes, and will include a brief interview followed by treatment. Treatment includes acupuncture and adjunctive therapies (electrostimulation, cupping, moxibustion, and body work). Herbs and supplements may also be suggested depending on the condition. Acupuncture's effects are cumulative and are most effective when administered in a series of treatments. However, the number and frequency of treatments varies from patient to patient. It is generally recommended to receive acupuncture one to two times per week to begin with, especially when the condition is acute.
