Our #1 goal is to provide professional, compassionate healthcare that fits your individual needs. That is why we now offer two options for your healing journey. A more comprehensive approach for more complex health challenges (Fertility, GI issues, Migraines, severe pain, etc), choose Private Consultation ($90 / 90 minutes total time), or a Community Consultation ($45 / 60 minutes total time) which is quick, and to the point for a more straight-forward situation (Stress, Headaches, Low Back Pain, mild to moderate pain, etc.).
First Let'sConsult
What to expect:
Before your visit. Patients generally keep their clothes on during acupuncture treatment in our clinic so please wear comfortable and loose fitting clothing if possible. You will feel better and the treatment is more effective if you eat something within four hours of your scheduled appointment. Also, avoiding caffeine drinks including coffee prior to treatment is recommended. We observe a 24-hour appointment cancellation policy. On your first Visit. Step into our Clinic; make yourself comfortable in one of the chairs near the front desk. We will assist you as soon as we are able. If you haven't already filled out the New Patient onboarding forms online, you will be given a questionnaire to fill out and a consent form to sign. This will take about 15 minutes. To expedite your appointment and allow for more discussion, please look for a second email to complete the questionnaire and consent forms prior to your visit. Your first appointment will include your first acupuncture treatment. Your practitioner will join you for a consultation to go over your health history with you and ask some detailed questions about your health concerns and overall lifestyle. We will examine your tongue and analyze your pulse which are ancient Chinese medicine diagnostic tools. We listen to what your body is telling us and design an acupuncture treatment strategy for your individual state of balance. Acupuncture Needles. Very thin disposable acupuncture needles are used. Needles are inserted with as little discomfort as possible. Your treatment time will range from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on your diagnosis. |
Now let'sTreat
How it works:
Individualized assessment. Traditional Chinese Medicine physicians (Acupuncturists) assess a person's health by observation through the pulse, the color and form of the skin, tongue, and body type. This information combined with your health history and current health concerns are interpreted, including physical, mental, emotional and spiritual context, developing your diagnosis in what Chinese Medicine terms, a pattern. Your specific pattern diagnosis determines what medical modalities are utilized such as Acupuncture, Herbs, HeartMath Interventions, Nutrition/Lifestyle counseling, and/or Massage, or if necessary, a referral to a specialist. It would be more precise to say that acupuncture treats Qi (chee) and Blood, Yin and Yang, and imbalance in your body, but this may not necessarily translate to a specific Western diagnosis. In our clinic, we have had success in most chronic conditions such as Infertility, Back and Neck pain, Digestive Issues including IBS & Diarrhea or Constipation, Headaches/Migraines, Women's Health including menstrual-related imbalances, Menopause, and Mental Emotional Imbalances including Depression, Anxiety, and PTSD. The World Health Organization of the United Nations has found many conditions for which acupuncture is considered a viable option for care.

Ready, set, goMaintain
What now?
Lifestyle awareness. Now that we've acheived balance through our acute treatment plan, it's up to you to maintain the results. Follow the nutrition and lifestyle advice we've discussed in your treatments, set up regular maintenance acupuncture treatments, and live optimally with the wisdom you now own. Traditional Chinese Medicine views people as ecosystems, seeking to improve our capacity to balance and cultivate our resources (Qi). Through a regular maintenance treatment schedule, varying from individual to individual, acupuncture can minimize the erosion of our mind, body, and spirit, maximizing the flow of vital nutrients needed for our bodily functions, and if needed, help maintain balance in the more demanding phases of life. Often we only think to intervene when symptoms arise, whereas acupuncture attempts to anticipate problems by sustaining an optimal internal environment. By correcting excesses or deficiencies, resolving stagnation, and promoting optimal health, acupuncture can help prevent and/or minimize greater problems down the road. |
