FIRST INTAKE AND TREATMENT

First intake and treatment lasts approximately 90 minutes.  We will have a thorough analysis of your health history including the onset of chief complaint,  past medical history, establishment of health goals followed by an acupuncture treatment, and other related modalities as needed.  A detailed overview of treatment plan and course of action is offered at the end of the session.

FOLLOW-UP TREATMENT

Follow-up Treatment lasts approximately 60 minutes.  We start each treatment with review and assessment of your current condition, note any relevant changes and progress, review the treatment plan and make adjustments to any current herbal prescription, nutritional, lifestyle, and exercise protocols, followed by an acupuncture treatment.



CONDITIONS TREATED

Acupuncture is an effective treatment for a wide range of health challenges — either by itself or in conjunction with conventional medical treatment.  In 2004, The World Health Organization published a report on diseases, symptoms or conditions for which acupuncture has been proved - through controlled trials--to be an effective treatment in which over 100 indications were discussed.  Below is a list of medical conditions commonly treated with acupuncture.
