How Long Will It Take
First Visits are generally 90 minutes, and follow-up visits range between 45 minutes to one hour.
Intake Process
We begin the session with an in-depth intake and diagnostic process where we take some time to learn more about you.
Our conversation is key to the diagnostic process. It gives us a chance to best review your past health history, and understand more about your current condition.
This is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions you might have, to ensure that
you are completely comfortable during your treatment. We will also discuss any other health or fitness goals you have, which may contribute to your treatment plan.
What to Wear
It's best to wear or bring loose fitting, comfortable clothing for your treatment session. You will most often remain
fully clothed during your treatment.
In cases where partial disrobing is more appropriate to facilitate access to a body area, or if you would prefer to
partially disrobe, gowns and linens are always available.
We want to ensure that you feel comfortable throughout the process, so please let us
know how you would be most comfortable.
Eating Before Treatment - Not Full, Not Empty
It is best to be neither hungry nor extremely full during your treatment.
Please be sure to eat 1-2 hours before your appointment. It is also best to avoid
extreme sweets, caffeine and alcohol in this same time frame.
On the Table
Once acupuncture needles have been placed in your body or other treatment therapies applied, we will put on soft
music for you, and usually leave you to rest in the quiet of the treatment room.
Most people look forward to this time to simply relax during an otherwise hectic day and generally feel
refreshed afterwards.
We will always be near enough to know if you need something, and are often quietly sitting nearby, writing notes on
your treatment plan.
Follow-up Visits
Follow-up visits typically last 45 minutes to one hour.
These visits also begin with an intake and diagnostic process based on your previous
visits. We will focus primarily on your progress and any changes in your condition, as well as any new concerns.
How Long & How Often Will I Need to Come
Your individual needs determine how often and for how long you will need to receive treatment. In general, treatment
is given at least once, occasionally twice, a week.
As your condition improves, and your symptoms resolve, the frequency of your treatments
will be slowly reduced to every other week, monthly or even seasonally.
