Treatment Experience:

Receiving acupuncture treatment can be a unique and powerful healing experience. The first appointment is typically a two-hour consultation. During this visit we will speak at length about your health concerns and address any questions you may have about acupuncture and the healing process. We will also discuss your health and personal history in detail, and perform a gentle, non-invasive physical examination. The primary objective of the first appointment is to assess the underlying conditions that have led to your current concerns. Following the initial consultation, generally you will be seen in weekly sessions for 6-8 visits. Typically, subsequent visits will include a short discussion with your practitioner, followed by the gentle insertion of needles. You will generally rest after needle insertion. Most people report this to be a pleasant and relaxing experience. During the early phase of treatment, significant signs of progress will likely appear. As you experience improvement in your condition and enjoy a greater sense of ease in life, treatments may be extended to every other week, every three weeks, monthly and eventually seasonally. Strict adherence to confidentiality is maintained at all times.
