WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF ACUPUNCTURE?

One benefit of acupuncture is that it is a drug-free way to optimize health. People often develop a tolerance or the need for an increased dosage to achieve same results with drugs. This however does not happen with acupuncture. In addition, with acupuncture therapy the doctor is able to immediately examine your response to the treatment and adjust if necessary.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FOR MY FIRST TREATMENT?

Our doctor will take a complete health history and establish a complete evaluation of the condition you are seeking treatment for and ask you questions about your lifestyle. Your pulse will be taken, your tongue will be looked at, and specific meridians will be checked for tenderness. The initial treatment will may last between 1 and 1.5 hours. Follow up treatments are 1 hour.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO I NEED?

This depends on a number of factors including your age, general health status and the condition being treated. Some patients have results in a few treatments (2 to 4) and other need long-term acupuncture care before major improvements set in. You can be assured that during the consultation and evaluation our doctor will tell you what to expect depending on your specific condition.
