What can I expect during a treatment session?
Acupuncture sessions begin with a comprehensive interview and physical examination. During the first visit your practitioner will ask you about your medical history as well as your current health condition. The interview process is shorter during follow up visits and focuses on changes since the previous treatment, as well as feedback about the treatment. As part of the physical exam, the practitioner will feel your pulse, look at your tongue, and use orthopedic tests to evaluate your muscular-skeletal condition or injury if necessary. After a thorough assessment, the acupuncture treatment will begin. Anywhere between 2 and 20 needles are used at a time. The needles are left in for up to 40 minutes, during which time patients may relax or nap.
Do you accept insurance?
I do not accept insurance at this time. I am actively working on being credentialed by some of the larger providers. Please, check back in towards the end of 2026.
