HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
Every patient is an individual, and individual responses vary. Typically, for
the first month, patients are recommended 1-3 times a week, then
reevaluated. Some people respond very quickly after one or two
treatments, while others may require regular treatments for months. In
general, the more acute a condition is, the less treatment is required.
Acupuncture treatments are culmative and build upon each other for
maximum result, so it is important to follow the treatment schedule for
optimum results.
NEEDLES?
The needles used in acupuncture treatments are very thin, about
the width of a hair. Unlike hypodermic needles, acupuncture
needles are solid and thin, not designed to cut the skin. The
needles do not hurt when inserted properly. Many people feel the Qi
arriving at the point and experience a tingling or heavy sensation.
We only use needles that are individually packaged, sterilized, and
disposable- never saved or reused.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Your first visit will consist of a comprehensive health interview and examination
to evaluate the nature of the imbalances which create your symptoms.
This session includes health history questions, pulse analysis, tongue
inspection and abdominal palpation, which are all used to develop a
diagnosis and treatment protocol. Together we will work out a
treatment plan specific for you. This is also an opportunity to
ask questions so you feel confident and comfortable with your treatment plan.
