What to Expect
Treatments begin with a thorough intake interview about all aspects of your health condition. Your practitioner will then feel your pulse and look at your tongue.
If receiving acupuncture: appropriate acupuncture points will be chosen to treat your condition. Common point locations are generally bellow the elbows and knees or on the back. The points are then swabbed with alcohol. You will relax on a massage table while the needles are inserted and retained for about 30 minutes. The total appointment time is about one hour.
