*Because many children can be afraid of needles, we will discuss and show them what acupuncture is using hair-thin needles during our assessment. If they do not want needles, we can also use gua sha, silicone or fire cupping, tuina massage, acupressure and ear seeds.
Your path to renewed health
1. The first visit
You will be given a questionnaire to fill out that will help determine your diagnosis and treatment plan. We will begin with your health history and a complimentary treatment of either cupping, gut sha, or moxibustion followed by acupuncture.
2. Wellness plan
Many people start to see a significant difference within one to two treatments but some take longer to respond, especially if the condition is chronic. In this case, it’s recommended that you start with two treatments a week for two to four weeks to make the most of the cumulative benefits of acupuncture.
3. Maintenance
This step is key for preventing relapse: A treatment at least every two to four weeks is recommended. Acupuncture is also beneficial every change of season for immune and mental health issues. In the case of injury, seasons can play a dramatic role in relapse of symptoms.
