What to Expect
Here's what you can expect to happen when you come in for a treatment.
Assessment
Your first visit will focus on the assessment. I will ask you lots of questions to get a detailed look at your health concerns. I'll probably look at your tongue and pulse and may perform a few orthopedic assessments if you have an injury or pain.
Pattern Diagnosis
Acupuncture is a unique system of medicine based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles and a modern understanding of physiology. The information from your assessment will be analysed and your pattern of disharmony will be determined. From there the best treatment will be chosen.
Initial Treatment
After the assessment you will receive your first treatment. It may include acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, and massage.
Follow Up
Based on your concerns and pattern we will work together to create a treatment plan for you. Follow up visits will be scheduled based on your plan and how you respond to the treatments.
