What to Expect
at Your First Visit
Your first visit is designed to give me time to understand the whole picture—not just the symptom that brought you in. I’ll review your health history, current concerns, medications and supplements, lifestyle, and your goals for care. From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, I’ll also assess patterns such as sleep, digestion, energy, stress, pain, and other signs that help guide your individualized treatment plan.
Your first acupuncture treatment may include acupuncture along with supportive therapies such as cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, or Frequency Specific Microcurrent when appropriate. I’ll discuss what to expect, answer your questions, and make sure you feel comfortable before treatment begins.
What to Expect
After Your Visit
Every person responds to acupuncture differently. Some patients notice changes immediately, while others experience more gradual improvement over several treatments. You may feel deeply relaxed, energized, or temporarily tired following your session. Mild soreness or sensitivity at an acupuncture point can occasionally occur and typically resolves quickly.
Your treatment plan may evolve as your symptoms and overall health change. I’ll regularly reassess your progress and adjust your care to support your individual goals.
