What to expect

  1. 1

    Consultation & assessment

    We start by listening: your health history, current concerns, and goals. Traditional diagnostics like pulse and tongue reading help complete the picture.

  2. 2

    Gentle needle placement

    Hair-thin, single-use sterile needles are placed at points chosen for your condition. Most patients feel little more than a tap — then deep relaxation.

  3. 3

    Rest, reset, and a plan

    You rest for 20–30 minutes while the treatment works. Afterward, we review your personalized plan and what to expect between visits.

Good to know

Plan for about an hour

First visits run longer to allow for a full assessment; follow-ups are typically 45–60 minutes.

It rarely hurts

Acupuncture needles are far thinner than hypodermic needles. Most patients describe sessions as deeply calming.

Often covered by insurance

Many plans cover acupuncture. Call us and we’ll help verify your benefits before your first appointment.
