What You Can Expect From a Treatment
- First you will fill out a detailed questionnaire about your symptoms.
- Then I will take your radial pulse, look at your tongue, and ask you more questions.
- I will give you bodywork if it is appropriate for your condition.
- I will gently insert stainless steel, thread-like, disposable needles into acupuncture points that I choose. You often will not feel the needle going in and it rarely hurts. I am known for my gentle, effective technique.
- You will rest or sleep for twenty to forty minutes feeling rested when you are done.
- I will take the needles out at the end of your treatment and give you herbs or exercises and discuss diet as is appropriate.
