Acupuncture Initial Appointment 

In this first appointment, we get to know each other, go through health history and why you are coming in to get acupuncture.  I present a short explanation of Chinese medicine and how acupuncture works and, more specifically, how it can work for you.  An acupuncture treatment is included in this first one and a half hour visit. 

Acupuncture Follow-up Appointment 

Once you have done an initial visit, a follow-up appointment is one hour and will include anything from acupuncture, electro-stimulation acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, massage, prescription of herbal remedies, and sometimes several of the above.

Herbal Consultation 

In an herbal consultation, we go through a complete health history and go over each complaint to be addressed.  I take the pulse on each wrist and look at the tongue, two diagnostic tools we use in Chinese medicine to determine what the pattern of imbalance is in the body.  If I have the right herbs in stock, I give them to you that day.  Otherwise, I order the herbal formula after the consultation and they arrive by mail in 4-5 days when you can come by my office to pick them up.  The consultation does not include the price of herbs.  Typically, one bottle costs $25 and lasts between 2-3 weeks.  Depending on the condition, one may have to take the herbs anywhere from one to six months.  Occasionally, I will prescribe two formulas at the same time to be taken together. 

Holistic Nutrition Consultation 

This appointment is most suited for those who are looking for a personalized way of changing the diet.  We talk about food allergies, cooking limitations, and family member’s desires and limitations.  Besides food intake, I also consider caffeine, sugar, alcohol, water, organic products, eating out, storage containers, microwaves, cooking pots, air and water purification systems, and body products (like soap and shampoo).  In short, anything that goes in your body or on your body.
