Conversation and assessment
We discuss your main concern, history, goals, relevant medical care, and factors that change your symptoms.
Acupuncture
Care informed by East Asian medicine, contemporary anatomy, functional assessment, and current research.
Acupuncture uses very fine, sterile, single-use needles placed at selected points based on the patient’s presentation and treatment goals.
A visit may also include discussion of activity patterns, movement, sleep, stress, symptom behavior, self-care, and whether another healthcare evaluation is appropriate.
Depending on the situation, care may incorporate manual techniques, gentle electrical stimulation, heat, cupping, or other methods within professional scope and with patient consent.
Your visit
We discuss your main concern, history, goals, relevant medical care, and factors that change your symptoms.
The treatment is selected for the person and presentation rather than applied as a one-size-fits-all protocol.
We review response, realistic expectations, and whether treatment should continue, change, or involve another provider.
Please tell the practitioner about pregnancy, implanted devices, bleeding disorders, anticoagulant use, immune compromise, recent surgery, significant allergies, fainting history, and any serious or rapidly changing symptoms.
Patients should continue prescribed medications unless the prescribing clinician advises otherwise.
