Preparation: Before your visit make sure you are wearing loose and comfortable clothing that can be rolled up past knees and elbows. Make sure you don’t come with a full or empty stomach. If in doubt, have a nutritious snack 40 minutes to an hour before coming. If coming for community acupuncture feel free to bring headphones with appropriate media player. Give yourself plenty of time to commute!
Diagnosis: We will ask you to describe the symptoms that are bringing you in. We will likely ask you seemingly unrelated questions. We will check your pulse and palpate the meridians on the arms and legs in order to listen to the body.
Treatment: We will discuss treatment options including acupuncture, manual, movement and heat therapies and come up with the right fit for you.
