For your first acupuncture appointment you are asked to arrive 15-20 minutes early to complete the patient registration paperwork. The paperwork is available for download on this website. Wear loose-fitted clothing and eat within one hour of your appointment time.

What to Expect

The first acupuncture session normally lasts 1 ‡ hours. During the first half of the session we will discuss any present health concerns you may have and will complete a detailed intake of your health history. After the intake we will create a personalized treatment plan for reaching your health goals and you will receive an acupuncture treatment. This consists of using hair fine needles to stimulate specific points that have been selected for you as a result of the information collected in the interview process. The acupuncture needles used in this practice are sterilized needles that are not reused. Most patients consider acupuncture to be very relaxing and painless. You may feel a brief sensation like an ache, heaviness, or warmth. In addition to acupuncture, message, Chinese herbal medicine, nutrition, and exercise advice may be given. Return acupuncture visits are typically 1 hour.
