First Visit

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine are a holistic approach. As acupuncturists we believe that if one part of your body is out of balance, it will create imbalance in other areas as well. That's why we take the time to identify the underlying pattern that could be causing your discomfort.

The first 15-30 minutes we'll discuss your past and current health concerns, as well as your wellness goals for the future. You'll have a thorough intake which includes taking your pulse on both wrists, looking at your tongue and pressing on various acupressure points. Once we have established the underlying pattern of disharmony in your body, we will recommend the specific treatment that will work best for you and your health.

Your first appointment will normally take 90 minutes.

Return Appointments

The benefits to Acupuncture and traditional Chinese Medicine are cumulative. You'll want to plan for more than one visit, though most patients see some results after just the first treatment. Depending on your body, your health, and the reason you're visiting, treatment plans will often include a concentrated burst of sessions (1-2 times per week for the first few weeks) and then move into a maintenance mode with bi-weekly treatments as needed.

After your first visit, your follow up appointments will normally take 60 minutes.
