During Your Visit
- For new patients, first we will do an in depth intake of your health history, and discuss your chief complaint and goals for treatment.
- Vitals will be taken, including tongue and pulse evaluation.
- Acupuncture treatment – needles will be gently placed at specific acupuncture points for your individual treatment, and then you get to rest and relax for about 25-30 minutes. Many patients fall asleep for a restorative acu-nap! Cupping, gua sha, or body work will follow as needed.
After Your Visit
- After your treatment, we advise you to refrain from strenuous physical activity for the next 3 hours and to drink plenty of water.
- After each treatment you should feel relaxed and revitalized.
