What to Expect

When we meet, I will do a more detailed examination based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, which includes pulse and tongue diagnosis, palpation of energy points and meridians. From these pulses a wealth of information about how the body is functioning is gained. Sound of voice, the condition and color of the tongue, overall appearance of face and skin, emotions, and dreams are all important indicators of your overall condition. It is important to include as much information as you can, even if you think it is not applicable.

During your treatment we will deal with the entirety of your condition at once because everything is connected. Acupuncture makes adjustments in the energy flow of our body to create the healthiest environment possible. Most people are surprised by the fact that the needle insertion is usually painless. In fact, some feel nothing at all. Following insertion you may feel numbness or tingling around the point, or in various areas of the body. Typically, the needles are left in the body up to 20 minutes per treatment.

Before your treatment:

- Eat something light a couple of hours prior to treatment.

- Try to be well rested

- No alcohol before or after treatment.

- Loose fitting clothing should be worn, shorts are best.
