The acupuncturist will start by discussing your medical history, symptoms, diet, sleep, stress level, exercise routine, and lifestyle in detail. They may also examine your tongue or pulse to identify any imbalances. Based on this thorough assessment, they’ll choose specific points to insert needles, addressing both your main concerns and any underlying conditions. This holistic approach aims to balance your body, mind, and spirit. Each acupuncturist has a unique style, often blending elements of Eastern and Western medicine.
You’ll lie down on the treatment table while the acupuncturist inserts sterile, disposable needles into various points on your body along the meridian energy channels. Traditional Chinese medicine has mapped an intricate system of these points over thousands of years. By targeting these meridians, the acupuncturist aims to restore your body’s balance and wellness.
Initial appointments typically last 90 minutes, with follow-up sessions lasting 60 minutes. The acupuncturist will often dim the lights and play soft music to help you relax. Many patients find the treatment so soothing that they fall asleep.
