Your First Visit
What To Wear
You'll need to expose the body part that is affected (knee, shoulder, back, etc.) Loose fitting, comfortable apparel such as sweats and t-shirt are ideal.
What To Expect
Initial visits generally last from thirty to sixty minutes. They includes a detailed health history intake, evaluation, individualized treatment plan and treatment.
During your first exam, your acupuncturist will spend time getting to know you and your health concerns. You may be asked a wide range of questions about your symptoms, eating, exercise, sleep habits, emotional states and anything that may offer insight into your health. Your acupuncturist will also employ diagnostic tools that are unique to acupuncture and TCM such as tongue and pulse diagnosis.
Your treatment plan
Once your acupuncturist has gathered enough information, you will receive a diagnosis and a treatment plan that will explain:
- Your underlying imbalances
- Your timeline of care
- What types of treatment you will receive
