What to Expect
Your Acupuncturist will ask you questions about your health history to get a clear understanding of your condition(s). A Chinese medical diagnosis is found by looking at your tongue and taking your pulse on both wrists. Fine, sterile disposable needles are used for a treatment that lasts from 20-40 minutes. You should feel comfortable and relaxed during your treatment and may fall into a meditation or fall asleep. A typical first visit is 90 minutes and subsequent visits are 60 minutes. Please arrive early if the paperwork will not be brought in.
