Initial Visit
Your first visit will begin with an in-depth assessment of your condition and an initial treatment. As part of your first visit, you will receive a customized treatment plan for your specific condition. In general, acute conditions of recent onset may only need two or three treatments. Chronic conditions usually require more treatments to achieve sustained results.
Needles are typically retained for about 30-45 minutes. Often people fall asleep during treatment. In addition to acupuncture, treatments may include light heat therapy, cupping and manual work, Aroma Acupoint Therapy™, herbal prescriptions, nutritional supplements, and diet and lifestyle recommendations.
