First Let'sConsult
What to expect:
Before your visit. Patients generally keep their clothes on during 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. You will be given a questionnaire to fill out and a consent form to sign. This will take about 15 minutes. To expedite your treatment, please complete the questionnaire and consent forms found in your email prior to your visit. Your practitioner will join you for a brief consultation to go over your health history with you and ask you some detailed questions concerning your complaints and health. We will examine your tongue and analyze your pulse which are Chinese medicine diagnostic tools. Acupuncture Needles. Very thin sterile, 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's
Treat
How it works:
Individualized assessment. Acupuncturists assess a person's health by observation through the pulse, the color and form of the face, tongue, and body. This information combined with your health history and current health 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. 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 cycle-related imbalances, Menopause, and Mental Emotional Imbalances including Depression, Anxiety, and PTSD. We especially cater to military veterans and their spouses, acupuncture has been proven effective in helping this under-served sect of our population cope with the many nuances of adapting back into civilian life. We love and appreciate you. The World Health Organization of the United Nations and the National Institutes of Health have found many conditions for which acupuncture is considered a viable option for care.

Ready, set, go
Maintain
What now?
Lifestyle awareness. Now that we've achieved balance through our acute treatment plan, it's up to you to maintain the results. Follow the lifestyle and nutrition advice we've discussed in your treatments, set up regular maintenance treatments, and live optimally. 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 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 greater problems down the road. |
