New Patient Consultation and Acupuncture
During the initial acupuncture consultation, the practitioner conducts a comprehensive assessment to understand the client’s health concerns and goals. This includes a detailed discussion of medical history, lifestyle, and current symptoms. Traditional diagnostic techniques, such as pulse reading and tongue observation, are used alongside modern insights to develop a holistic picture of the individual’s health.
A personalized treatment plan is then created, and the first acupuncture session may be performed. The session involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to promote balance and healing. This visit is also an opportunity for the client to ask questions, discuss concerns, and begin establishing a collaborative approach to their care.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used forms of medicine in the world. Originating in China more than 2,500 years ago, acupuncture is currently one of the most thoroughly researched, practiced, and respected forms of complementary medicine available anywhere.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, your overall health is determined by the quality of the Qi (energy) flow through the natural pathways of your body (meridians). Acupuncture uses a variety of techniques, including placing very thin sterile needles into specific points on the body, to stimulate and improve your Qi flow. The many benefits of acupuncture include:
- Pain reduction
- Stress and tension relief
- Increased energy levels
- Stronger digestion
- Relief from bad habits and addictions
- Greater sense of overall health and well-being
Cupping
Cupping has been a part of Chinese Medicine for over 2,500 years. It relieves aches and pains, improves circulation, and also helps with respiratory and digestive issues. I simply place a specialized "cup" onto specific points on your body, and then use suction to draw your skin up into the cups. It doesn't hurt — it simply draws fresh blood to that area of your body, which facilitates the cleansing and strengthening of your Qi (energy). The end result is a greater overall sense of health and well-being.
