What to expect
Treatments ... In the first visit there will be an initial consultation, followed by a detailed examination. Both my findings and the treatment plan will be discussed; and there will be time for your questions. I allow one and a half hours for the initial visit. Factors that influence treatment time are: type of disharmony (disease, either chronic or acute), age of the patient, or treatment plan. Follow up sessions, also have influential factors but should run approximately one hour.
Your health care...The word care is paramount here. In my office you will be treated exactly as I would care for any of my family. Each person gets my full attention. Your relaxation, comfort and results are my priorities. I have endeavored to explain the holistic approach in the health care you will receive in my office, so that you can make comfortable and educated health care decisions.
Please feel free to contact me if you have other questions or concerns.
Results: what and when to expect ... How much relief? Results will vary from person to person. Acupuncture is usually a series of treatments. Typically, the first treatment will bring some relief or complete relief, but possibly none. The second treatment should build on the first and each successive treatment should increase exponentially.
When? Some conditions respond immediately, as soon as the treatment is over. Some respond a few hours after treatment, and I have even seen results occur up to two days later. Some conditions may respond in one or two treatments; neck issues, knee pain and sciatica for example. Others may take longer.
