YOUR FIRST VISIT

Your first visit will last approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes during which time your health history and current health care concerns are reviewed.
You will experience a variety of diagnostic techniques including feeling your pulse.
You will then receive an acupuncture treatment based on your unique diagnosis.
Depending on the nature of your illness, herbal medicine, nutritional supplements, and/or dietary therapy are recommended usually on the second or third visit.

How many treatments will I need?

Acupuncture is most effective when you receive about 8-12 treatments. After that time period, you will know if the treatments are effective for you and your condition.
The number of treatments needed varies depending on your health condition. Chronic and complex illnesses may require more treatment, while acute problems generally respond faster.
You may need to continue to receive weekly or bi-weekly treatment after that time for several months to receive the most benefit. Removing the deepest cause of your imbalance requires commitment and patience.
Once you are feeling completely better, a monthly treatment can be helpful to maintain your health.
