Please be prepared to answer all aspects of your health. It is important to get an overall view of your body’s health in order to understand your present condition. This will help us assess your constitutional pattern and create the most effective treatment plan for you.
We will perform any necessary physical exams and check your vitals as well as your tongue and pulse.
According to our diagnosis of your condition, specific acupuncture points will be chosen to rebalance your body. Needles will be retained about 20 – 30 minutes.
