Acupuncture - Initial Consultation
Acupuncture - Initial Consultation
Service Description
In your initial consultation, you'll be given the opportunity to state your wellness goals, discuss your ailments, and identify the root cause of any issues you may have. This is a safe space for you to address anything and everything that you'd like to improve upon in your life. Whether your issues are physical, emotional, or both, you'll be given the treatment and tools you need to align with your optimal state of well-being. As an added bonus, you'll get to know yourself on a deeper level through this process. First, you will be asked a series of questions that will help shape your diagnosis and treatment plan. We will explore your medical history together and we'll analyze any past/present ailments you may have using TCM diagnostics. Once you are ready and comfortable, we will begin your acupuncture treatment. Extremely fine needles will be placed at specific locations on the body to stimulate blood flow, alleviate pain, and unblock affected acupuncture meridians. The needles are typically painless, and you'll feel mild sensations such as heat, electricity, or tingling. Many describe the sensations as deeply relaxing and enjoyable. After the needles are placed, you get to relax for 30 minutes as the needles work their magic. (Bonus points if you fall asleep!) Depending on your specific needs, your session may also include Fire-Cupping, Moxibustion, Tui-na Massage, Medical Qi-Gong, Herbal Medicine, or other TCM modalities at no extra charge. After treatment, you will be given "homework" (recommendations and tools) to incorporate into your day to day life that will help you reach your goals. We will discuss your ideal treatment plan moving forward and explore your options. ***DISCLAIMER: Healing is not linear. Often, patients will feel relief after just one session. (For acute pain, sometimes 1 or 2 sessions is all it takes!) However for chronic issues, permanent relief requires time, discipline, and consistency. Think of acupuncture treatments like exercise. Going to the gym once may feel great, but if you don't stay consistent you won't get the results you desire. In my experience, patients start to witness the big changes after 4 to 6 acupuncture sessions.
