Acupuncture & east asian medicine services

The practice of East Asian Medicine and Acupuncture regards the individuals' emotional and physical presentations, and bases treatments in living in unity with the principles of nature. Acupuncture treatment aids in harmonizing different phases and seasons of our lives and brings a greater self awareness. Treatment adjuncts may include, but are not limited to: cupping, tui na therapy, gua sha, manual therapies, moxibustion, diet and herbal approaches, supplementation, and lifestyle guidance.

Acupuncture has been developed and refined over thousands of years of practice and is used for the treatment of many modern day acute and chronic conditions.

An Acupuncturist must complete a Master’s level program or greater, be professionally licensed in their state, and must be certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) in order to practice.

what to expect

A patient’s very first session is typically one hour long and includes gathering a medical history, review of symptoms, emotional concerns, and a physical examination. The provider uses this information to determine the best approach to treatment and will provide a treatment during the first session.

The frequency of 30-45 minute follow up sessions will be determined on level of need or will follow a referring physicians recommendation. A typical course of treatment may be once to twice weekly for 6 weeks, or for a longer period if desired.
 

Patients report having an increased sense of emotional balance, mental clarity, and a better understanding of their body’s messages.

We offer virtual 30 minute herbal and lifestyle consultations as a stand alone or adjunct service to Acupuncture.
