Item Description

Have you tried acupuncture before? The ancient practice is known to relieve aches and pains of all kinds. 

In your first acupuncture session, you'll spend the beginning of the appointment talking with the acupuncturist about what has brought you in, the duration of the problem, and the intensity of the problem. Chinese Medicine uses a series of 10 questions to properly analyze the patient as well as checking tongue and pulse, so you will also talk through these series of questions. The Tongue is a map of the body and lets me know which system are being afflicted and if there is dryness, damp, heat, cold, excess, etc. going on. Your pulse will also be taken to check for the overall health and see what systems need the most attention. 

After that, the acupuncturist will proceed with either cupping, acupuncture, or moxa (all a variety of Traditional Chinese Medicine methods). Often, multiple things are used within one session. Acupuncture needles are inserted into the body and usually retained there for 30-60 minutes. After that time, needles are removed and put into a sharps container. The needles are one time use for safety. 


At the end of your session, the acupuncturist might suggest dietary changes, exercises, or supplements post treatment.
