Your Initial Appointment

Preparing For Your Visit

Here are some important things to keep in mind to help make your appointment run smoothly. In addition, ALL CLIENTS ARE REQUIRED TO REVIEW THE CLINIC / COVID POLICIES page for important information and current policies.  


  • Cell Phones - For the consideration of others receiving treatments, please turn off your cell phone before entering our offices, and kindly keep voices at a low volume during your visit.


  • Appointments - Please arrive as close to your scheduled time as possible. To help maintain patient privacy and a noise free atmosphere, early arrival of more than a few minutes is discouraged. Seating is available in the downstairs hall should you arrive excessively early. Be aware that arriving more than 15 minutes late may result in the loss of your time slot, so if you're running really late, it's advised you contact the office.


  •  Proper Attire - To give proper access to the acupuncture points, it is essential to wear loose, comfortable clothing that can easily be rolled up to the elbows and knees, as well as loose around the collar. Two-piece clothing is recommended. Usually, it will not be necessary for you to change out of your clothing unless it restricts access to the acupuncture points. Large towels are used as drapery should your treatment require you to disrobe.


  • Health History Questionnaire & Acupuncture Consent Form -It's very important to fill out and complete these forms prior to your appointment. They are available on the "Patient Forms" page, where you can view and print a copy. If you are unable to complete these before your visit, please contact this office to discuss options.


  • Payment - Payment is due upon completion of services. MasterCard, Visa, and Debit cards are all accepted as well as personal checks and cash. HSA cards are welcomed.


  • Insurance Policy - The clinic is not in network with any insurance providers, and therefore does not accept any forms of insurance or can submit any forms for you. 


  • Cancellations - Please give at least 24 hours advance notice for cancellations. However, if you are sick, feeling unwell, have had a covid 19 exposure, or experience an emergency, you will not be penalized for a last-minute cancellation, otherwise there is a $65 fee for late cancellations or no shows.
     

What to Expect

Your initial appointment will include a comprehensive intake of your health history.  This is because Oriental Medicine strives to find the root of your problem, not just treat the symptoms. Body, mind, and spirit are all considered when making an assessment and when administering acupuncture or other treatments.

After the consultation, your pulse will be taken, and you may be asked to show your tongue. These give your practitioner very important clues as to the state of your health.

Typically, 10 to 20 acupuncture needles will be inserted in selected points on the body, most on the lower arms and legs, or on the back or trunk depending on the issue being treated. The needles will be stimulated gently by twisting, lifting, or by other methods to make an energetic connection with the acupuncture point. The needles remain in place approximately 25 minutes, and most patients have a deep sense of relaxation during their treatment.
