During your initial intake appointment, we’ll take a full health history. We’ll ask you questions about your overall health, symptoms, and lifestyle. An appropriate physical exam is conducted, including pulse and tongue diagnosis.
Gathering this information enables us to effectively diagnose and detect any specific imbalances that may have contributed to your health problems. Once these have been identified, we can create a well-structured treatment plan for symptom relief and resolution.
After your intake is complete, you’ll receive your first acupuncture treatment. We’ll place fine, sterile needles at specific acupoints along meridian pathways. This safe and painless insertion of the needles can unblock any obstructions and balance Qi where it has become unbalanced.
Once this is done, Qi can freely circulate throughout the body. Although Qi is often translated as “energy,” it also corresponds to cellular communication. Allowing Qi to circulate provides adequate nourishment to your cells, organs, glands, tissues, and muscles. This can eliminate pain and restore balance and harmony, as well as activate your body’s ability to heal itself — ultimately leading to optimal health and well-being.
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine are safe, effective and drug-free therapies that can help address a wide variety of common ailments and problems!
