How to Prepare for your Appointment

  • The first treatment will be an hour and a half. Each treatment after that will be 1 hour.

  • Please wear loose clothing.  Many points that are utilized in treatment will require loose-fitting clothing.

  • It is not good to show up to an appointment on an empty stomach.

  • Chronic conditions usually take more treatments than acute conditions.

  • Initially, appointments should be close together (1-3 times per week), but as treatment progresses, you will be able to space them further apart.

What treatment is like?

  • During your first initial appointment, we will go over detailed medical history before the acupuncture treatment. 

  • During a follow-up appointment, there will be fewer questions asked and treatment will begin almost immediately.

  • Treatments may include moxa, electrical stimulation, cupping, Tuina massage, gua sha, and herbal consultation.

  • Acupuncture is not necessarily sensation free. Most patients can sometimes experience a “Qi“ sensation.

  • Most patients find treatments comfortable and relaxing and fall asleep during treatment.
