Your first appointment is an opportunity for you to tell me about your symptoms. A first typical treatment includes:

• A complete health history intake
• Chinese pulse and tongue diagnosis
• Acupuncture treatment (needle retention)
• Other Traditional Chinese therapies as needed
  (ie. Moxabustion, cupping)
• Chinese herbal recommendations (as needed)
• Dietary/lifestyle recommendations
  

About Acupuncture > Commonly Treated Disorders

One treatment per week is commonly recommended for most chronic conditions. Two treatments per week is usually recommended for most acute conditions. As a general rule, acupuncture isn’t a one treatment cure-all but rather requires a series of treatments. It is usually recommended that a patient commit to at least six to eight treatments for optimal benefits. Every individual is different, however, so this is determined on a case by case basis.
