First visit
Please print and complete the paperwork below.
If you would like to fill out the intake forms in the office, please arrive 10 min before your scheduled appointment.
The initial visit lasts approximately 90 minutes. We will discuss your medical history and current concerns. You will receive an acupuncture treatment as well as be given herbal, dietary and lifestyle recommendations to help your complaints.
Follow-up visits last 1 hour.
What to Expect and How to Prepare for your Acupuncture Visit
Please have a light meal or snack before coming in (It is best not to be too full nor too hungry).
If possible, please wear loose comfortable clothing. Most patients remain clothed for treatments. Often, only socks and shoes are removed. If more disrobing is needed, blankets for draping will be provided.
Our goal is to provide a relaxed, comfortable, results-oriented visit. We use a Japanese needling technique known for being gentle and virtually painless. After conducting a thorough interview and health evaluation, we insert very thin (about the size of a human hair), sterile, disposable needles into various acupuncture points. This is usually painless, however it is normal to experience a dull ache, tingling, or warm sensation. Needles are retained for 20-30 minutes, and most people become very relaxed, and experience a feeling of well-being during and after their treatment.
How many visits you will need is different for each individual. Generally, acute problems require fewer treatments and more chronic problems will take longer to resolve.
Patients often come in more often at the beginning (1-2x week) and then the frequency of treatments is reduced as symptoms improve. Ultimately and ideally, patients come in for maintenance and/or preventative and wellness care every 2-6 weeks.
