New Patient
What you should expect during your initial consultation:
During our first meeting, we will discuss your chief complaint, and review how your body is functioning overall.
Your acupuncture treatment will be based on the information gathered from our conversation. Even though you may be seeking treatment for a particular problem, we will review your sleep patterns, diet, digestive system, allergies, and other ailments to assist with your diagnosis. This initial visit may take 60 minutes or more based on your requirements.
What you should expect during your first treatment session:
A regular treatment session will last for an hour. At the beginning of a session we will review your symptoms. If necessary we can adjust your treatments for the session as necessary.
To avoid any discomfort, it is probably best to avoid eating a large meal before a treatment session.
Follow-up Treatments:
After an initial consultation, you will receive a thorough treatment plan outlining the recommended frequency and number of treatments, which depend on various factors. Among these factors are:
- The type of problem the patient is experiencing
- The length of time the patient has been experiencing the problem
- The patient’s general level of health
- How receptive the patient’s body is to acupuncture treatment
