Detail First Acupuncture Services
- As a new acupuncture patient, you need to fill out the new patient intake form firstly, after that you’ll be scheduled for about 1 hour session (include 15 mins consultation & 45 mins acupuncture treatment). Because acupuncture is a holistic medicine, we will conduct a thorough verbal intake, covering not just your chief complaint but other aspects of your health and wellness. And we will ask some questions you have along the way. After that we will give you a physical exam that includes looking at your tongue, feeling your pulse, palpating injuries for pain and discomfort, and pressing different locations on your abdomen. We may also measure your blood pressure and heart rate.
- Based on the information gathered, we will formulate an acupuncture medical diagnosis and treatment plan that includes a discussion of the Stages of Acupuncture Care. The plan will include a prognosis describing the percentage improvement we would expect for your condition after a specified number of treatments, along with possible herbal formulas, and nutritional and/or lifestyle recommendations. We will explain this to you in detail and answer any questions you may have during and after the acupuncture treatment.
- After the consultation we will do about 45 minutes acupuncture treatment. Acupuncturist works by inserting very thin, sterile and disposable needles into specific points on the body. After the needles you will feel better as your body comes back into balance. In addition to experiencing a decrease in pain, you should also feel more relaxed, energetic and at peace with the world.
- If you still have questions, you are welcome to email, text or phone to set up consultation.
