Your Appointment
Your First Appointment
I don’t like to keep you waiting, so please get to the office five minutes before your scheduled appointment so you’ll have time to fill out paperwork or just to catch your breath. Please make sure you eat before your treatment. No special clothing is necessary, if needed you’ll change in private, and be covered throughout your treatment, we usually need access to the arms and knees.
First appointments are longer (about 90 min), we will go over the initial intake form (connection here to PDF form) and talk in length about your reason of coming in.
We will discuss your medical history, diet, digestive system, medication, emotional state, sleep and more. As part of the intake I will take a look at your tongue and take your pulse in the service of making Chinese medical diagnosis.
After our conversation i will come with a specific treatment plan for you based on everything we have discussed followed by an acupuncture treatment, you will be staying with the needles for approximately 20 min. Other modalities may also be performed or suggested, including moxa, gua sha, cupping, electric stimulation and Tui Na (medical Massage).
