New Patients
How to prepare for your first visit:
Masks are required in this community health care setting. It is difficult for your neighbor to cover their face if sneezing or coughing while they are being treated. It is also provides a safeguard to our small staff and immuno-comprised patients. Thank you for your consideration and understanding.
-
Wear comfortable clothing. Patients remove just their socks and shoes to get ready for treatment.You will need to be able to roll up your pants to the knees and sleeves to the elbows. We employ points that are easily accessible on the arms and legs and head to treat everywhere on the whole body with great results.
-
Arrive 10 - 15 minutes early, if possible, to check in, complete patient forms (see below), and visit the restroom.
-
After you consult with the acupuncturist, we will lead you to a comfortable recliner in our tranquil community room for a treatment.
-
We always start by trying out 1 pin, to see if you want to continue. Most find the sensation to be mild. Let us know if this is not for you. Also, let us know if any of the subsequent pins are annoying. Sometimes they just sit wrong and that can be fixed easily. No need to put up with it during the treatment. Generally, most people feel a calming, restful, or drifty sensation.
-
Please allow 45-60 minutes from your appointment time.
-
Afterwards, we provide you with a treatment plan (frequency of visits) for your condition. Regular, frequent acupuncture treatment is what leads to results and relief. Often, the benefits of the treatments build on each other. We look for incremental change in the intensity and frequency of the condition being treated
