What to Expect at your first Appointment
Your appointment starts with an inquiry about your health history, specific ailments and lifestyle habits. You may be asked questions about energy level, sleep, emotions, sensations of heat and coolness, quality and location of pain, eating habits, elimination, headaches, dizziness, or (for women) gynecological concerns. Your condition is assessed through traditional pulse diagnosis, tongue examination and palpation of acupuncture points.
Through these methods of assessment, a diagnosis is made and a course of treatment is determined. In addition to your appointment times, individual attention is given to your case to research for the most effective treatment for your particular condition.
Recommended treatments may include an assortment of acupuncture, Chinese herbs, dietary recommendations, lifestyle counseling, stretching and breathing exercises, as well as self acupressure massage, may be prescribed for continued home conditioning.
