- At your initial appointment, we will conduct a detailed evaluation. Using principles of Traditional Oriental Medicine, we identify causes associated with your individual condition. After determining your diagnosis, we develop a treatment plan incorporating an acupuncture prescription, Chinese herbs, supplements and nutritional and lifestyle recommendations.
- Sterile, superfine needles are placed at points that correspond to your specific needs.
- The needles are about the thickness of three hairs, are used only once and are disposed of immediately following your treatment.
- You will feel a light tap when the needles are applied. After a moment, you may feel warmth, heaviness, tingling or pressure around the needle. These sensations are normal and desirable.
- Acupuncture promotes marked relaxation such that most people fall asleep during the treatment. It is very common to experience a feeling of general well-being afterward.
- A typical follow-up appointment lasts about 1 hour and includes time to talk about your progress as well as receive an acupuncture treatment.
- Each person and medical condition responds to treatment at a different pace. Acute conditions usually can be treated with one to five sessions, and chronic conditions take longer.
