Acupuncture treatments are integrative.  They take into account all aspects of a person’s being, inside and out: including lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, stress, work and relationships.

Your treatment begins by taking a health history and explaining your symptoms.  The acupuncturist may look at your tongue and take your pulse, to help diagnosis.   Acupuncture diagnosis involves understanding the patient’s individual pattern, and then determine the appropriate point prescription. This treatment normally consists of the insertion of about 5-10 (sterilized, single-use, hair-thin) needles.

The needle insertion is normally painless.  The patient relaxes for about 30-40 minutes with the needles.  Patients often fall asleep during this time.

The patient may receive some lifestyle recommendations.  The number of additional treatments depends on the condition and the health of the patient.  Acupuncture is a therapy and can take 3 treatments to feel a big difference.  The more serious the condition, the longer it takes to successfully heal.
