Together we decide which therapies are best suited for you.
STEPS THROUGH THE TREATMENT PROCESS
01
Initial Consultation
​
Half-hour, free of charge session where we go over your case and goals, the treatment process and answer any questions you may have. This is to make certain treatment meets your expectations and that there is a high probability of success for you. I can also give you a better idea of how many treatments you may need.
​
02
Detailed Intake & Treatment Plan
At the end of the consultation we will decide if we move forward and schedule your full intake appointment (1.5 to 2 hours). This is when we do a detailed assessment of your symptom pattern, medical history and a short physical exam to determine the root cause, which allows me to create a specific treatment plan for you. After this assessment, you will have your first treatment.
03
Active Treatment & Symptom Reduction
You will then return for weekly appointments for roughly 2 to 8 weeks to make sure we are getting results as they relate to your medical condition. Once your symptoms have stabilized we move on to the next step. Although rare, if we have not gotten any relief in your symptoms by the fourth or fifth treatment, we will discuss whether to continue moving forward or to recommend other forms of treatment outside my office.
04
Stabilizing Symptoms & Maintenance
This usually occurs between the 6th and 12th treatment. As long as your symptoms do not creep up between treatments, we can space them farther and farther apart. Initially you will come every other week, then once a month and then whenever you feel you need a tune up or if you have another issue arise in the future. Although, many of my patients wish to continue with ongoing maintenance treatments or for general stress relief.
05
Taking Care of Your Friends & Family
Many of my patients are referred to me by past patients who have felt much better after feeling the true healing of acupuncture and who want their loved ones to also benefit from my work. I look forward to helping your friends, family members and coworkers on their journey to a pain-free, more joyful, prosperful life.

Heading 1
HOW ACUPUNCTURE HELPS HEAL THE BODY
Acupuncture is a form of medicine that has been used for thousands of years to help the body restore balance and promote natural healing. Very fine, sterile needles are placed at specific points on the body to stimulate the nervous system, improve circulation, and regulate internal systems.
​
These points help the body:
✔ regulate hormones
✔ reduce inflammation
✔ improve blood circulation
✔ calm the nervous system
✔ restore balance to internal systems
​
Modern research shows acupuncture can influence the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals and help regulate the body’s stress response. ​These effects can support improvements in many conditions, including chronic pain, hormonal imbalance, digestive disorders, anxiety, and sleep disturbances.
​
By improving communication between the nervous system, hormones, and circulation, acupuncture helps the body move out of a state of stress and back toward balance.
​
Most patients find treatments deeply relaxing and often notice improvements in symptoms within the first few visits. Acupuncture needles are extremely thin—much thinner than the needles used for injections or blood draws. Most patients feel little to no discomfort when the needles are inserted. Many are surprised by how relaxing acupuncture treatments can be, and some even fall asleep during treatment.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR FIRST ACUPUNCTURE APPOINTMENT
If you’ve never had acupuncture before, it’s normal to have questions. Your first visit is designed to understand your health concerns and create a personalized treatment plan to help your body restore balance.
01
A Comprehensive Health Consultation
Your appointment begins with a detailed conversation about your health history and current concerns.
​
We will discuss:
-
your primary symptoms and health goals
-
past medical history
-
sleep, digestion, and energy levels
-
stress and emotional health
-
menstrual or hormonal health (when relevant)
-
lifestyle factors that may affect your health
​
This helps us understand the root cause patterns behind your symptoms.​​
02
Detailed Intake & Treatment Plan
In addition to discussing your symptoms, Traditional Chinese Medicine uses a few unique diagnostic tools to better understand internal imbalances.
​
These may include:
-
tongue observation, which provides insight into organ and digestive health
-
pulse diagnosis, which gives information about circulation and internal balance.
​
This assessment helps guide the selection of acupuncture points for your treatment.
03
Your Personalized Acupuncture Treatment
Once the assessment is complete, very thin, sterile acupuncture needles are placed at specific points on the body.
​
Acupuncture needles are extremely fine—much thinner than the needles used for injections or blood draws—and most patients feel little to no discomfort.
​
During treatment you may feel sensations such as:
-
a mild tingling
-
warmth
-
heaviness
-
a gentle dull ache
These sensations are normal and usually brief.
04
Relax and Allow Your Body to Reset
The needles typically remain in place for about 20–30 minutes while you rest comfortably.
​
Many patients find this time deeply relaxing and some even fall asleep during treatment.
​
Depending on your condition, additional therapies may be used to enhance your treatment, such as:
-
cupping therapy
-
herbal medicine
-
acupoint injection therapy
-
lifestyle recommendations
05
Discussing Your Treatment Plan
After your session, we will discuss recommendations for future treatments based on your condition and health goals.
​
Some patients notice improvements quickly, while chronic conditions may require a series of treatments to achieve lasting results.
​
Our goal is to create a plan that supports long-term healing and balance.
06
Leaving Relaxed and Rebalanced
Many patients leave their first treatment feeling:
​
✔ deeply relaxed
✔ mentally calm
✔ less tense or in pain
✔ more balanced overall
As treatments continue, these effects often build as the body moves toward improved health and stability.
