What does booking your first Acupuncture appointment look like?
Initial Assessment + Treatment
Your first acupuncture appointment begins with a detailed health assessment where we’ll discuss your main concerns, medical history, lifestyle, and overall well-being.
This helps me understand the underlying patterns contributing to your symptoms and create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you.
Following the assessment, you’ll receive your first treatment! Depending on your needs, I may incorporate additional techniques alongside Acupuncture to enhance results:
-
Acupuncture — The insertion of fine, single-use, sterile needles at specific points on the body to regulate energy flow, reduce pain, and restore balance.
-
Moving Cupping — Silicone cups are gently glided across the skin to improve circulation, release muscle tension, and encourage lymphatic drainage.
-
Tui Na Massage — A therapeutic form of Chinese medical massage that uses kneading, rolling, and stretching techniques to reduce stiffness, enhance mobility, and promote relaxation.
-
Gua Sha — A smooth-edged tool is used to gently scrape the skin’s surface, stimulating blood flow, relieving tightness, and aiding the body’s natural healing processes.
Each treatment is designed to address both the root cause and the manifesting symptoms, helping your body find balance, improve function, and support overall well-being.
For the best results, Acupuncture is most effective when received consistently over a series of treatments. While some people notice improvement after just one session, lasting results often develop over 4–6 treatments as the body gradually rebalances and adapts. Staying consistent allows each treatment to build on the last, supporting deeper and longer-lasting relief.
After this initial phase, we’ll reassess your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Many patients transition into a maintenance phase, coming once every two weeks or once a month to sustain results, maintain balance, and continue feeling their best.
