What can I expect when I visit an acupuncturist?​​​?

​Your first visit: ​Your initial visit is designed to help your practitioner understand why you are seeking treatment, and what may have led to your symptoms. This session begins with an interview which includes your health/ personal history and continues with a physical examination and consultation. It is conducted in complete confidentiality and you will then be advised of the anticipated frequency of treatments.

What is the relationship between acupuncture and conventional medicine?

While acupuncture is concerned with the whole person and addresses itself with many levels of functioning, it is also a particular form of treatment with its own limitations. Effectiveness is enhanced by health promoting attitudes/behaviors. Patients already being cared for by other providers will need to remain in their care.
