Cupping and other adjuncts
- 01We will meet for 75 minutes. I will go over your health history and address your concerns. I will also check your pulses on your wrist and look at your tongue. All of this information will help me form a diagnosis that I can support with acupuncture. If you're coming in with pain, I will go through an Exstore scan to identify muscle inhibition. Plan to be on the table with needles for 20-30 minutes in your first session.
- 02The number of treatments needed to resolve your condition will depend on the severity, how long you have had this condition/injury and your lifestyle (including diet, exercise, work and home life). A change can occur in the body in as little as one treatment and accumulates over the course of your treatment plan. In our first session we will discuss a treatment plan and how to space your visits to best serve you. For acute pain, I suggest 3-5 visits close together to promote healing and recovery.
- 03It varies based on the individual. My goal with my patients is to get them feeling better. I prefer to see a patient more often in the beginning and spread appointments out once the patient is feeling better. If the patient can return to normal activities this is a good sign that healing is happening.
- 04Yes, when preformed by a licensed acupuncturist. I use sterile- disposable one time use needles that are individually packaged. Please inform the practitioner if you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant, as there are acupuncture points to avoid during pregnancy.
- 05No. I can provide you with a super bill to submit to your insurance.
- 06I accept cash, check, HSA/ FSA and all major credit cards.
- 07I offer 10% off each session for children (17 and under), yoga teachers and military personnel.
