Chinese medicine and acupuncture have been used for over 3,000 years to treat and prevent illness. Treating the body and mind together, this form of medicine emphasizes a holistic approach to health. Acupuncture stimulates the body's innate ability to heal by activating specific points on the body to improve blood circulation, to promote the free-flow of Qi (energy), and to relieve pain. Chinese herbal medicine can be used independently or as a complement to acupuncture. Regardless of your treatment goals, acupuncture will assist in regulating overall body function and promoting internal balance.

Prior to your consultation, you will be asked to fill out some forms — a medical history form including medications, vitamins, and supplements you are currently taking, a consent to treatment form, and the HIPPA privacy policy receipt. Together, we will go through your medical history forms and complete a Chinese medical intake to determine the root(s) of your condition. In Chinese medicine, we also use the tongue and pulse as diagnostic tools. A care plan is then discussed based upon these items and your goals for treatment.During your first visit for treatment, you will lie down on a massage table, get comfortable, and the needles will be inserted. Most do not feel the needles themselves and notice deep feelings of relaxation. Herbal formulas and nutritional recommendations will also be discussed if appropriate to your care plan.

Your first visit will last from 60-90 minutes, as we will go through a thorough history and intake as part of your consult. Subsequent (follow up) visits last roughly 45-60 minutes. Once the needles are inserted, you will lay comfortably for 20-30 minutes.

Everybody experiences the effects of acupuncture a little differently. Depending on the concern being treated, some people may start to notice the benefits almost immediately, others may feel a difference a few hours after treatment, and some may need several treatments before they notice an improvement. Some people become very relaxed with treatments, while others may feel energized or rejuvenated.

For most conditions, a series of treatments is required in order for you to achieve maximum benefit. A course of treatment for many complaints can range from 6-12 treatments while the typical course of treatment for fertility might be a treatment once or twice weekly over 3-9 months. After your initial evaluation, you will be given recommendations on the number and frequency of treatments relative to your goals and health history.

We neither offer nor recommend dry needling as a therapeutic practice, due to serious concerns over the safety and amount of training received for such an invasive procedure. While both acupuncturists and medical doctors possess extensive training and experience with regard to the use of needles throughout the body, there is currently no minimum standard for hours or content in these limited training workshops.

We encourage patients to wear or bring comfortable clothing — something that will allow us to roll your pants above the knees and your sleeves above the elbows. Be sure to eat a snack or light meal within an hour or two of your appointment. If possible, avoid strenuous activity or exercise after you are finished with your session to allow for maximum relaxation and benefit.

We are an out-of-network provider, and therefore do not bill insurance directly at this time. However, the receipts provided at the time of your service contain the necessary information for you to submit for reimbursement. Acupuncture is a flex-spending eligible service and many of our patients elect to use these funds for their treatment.
