Acupuncture
Healing with Acupuncture
Acupuncture has an incredible way of re-introducing the body to itself. Over the past 20 years I have seen acupuncture predictably improve patients' overall state of well being. Acupuncture is a modality that allows the body to do what it knows how to do, only more harmoniously and efficiently. Acupuncture is very effective at taking the stress off of the system, and by doing so it often gets results when other interventions have failed.
Initial appointment (allow 1.5 hours). $150
Follow-up appointments (allow 1 hour): $95
What should I expect?
Before a Treatment: Have a snack, make sure your hair is dry, turn off your cell phone.
Your First Visit: Together we will go through your health history and your health goals. I will examine your tongue, palpate your abdomen and take your pulse, explain my findings and proceed to a treatment.
During the Treatment: Once needles are in place, you may experience deep relaxation, and may even fall asleep.
After the Treatment: You may feel very relaxed, even a bit lightheaded at first. Some treatments will leave you invigorated, some very calm and focused.
Our acupuncture appointments may include one or more of the following services. These are also available as individual services.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion involves warming acupuncture points either directly, without use of needles or by warming acupuncture needles. I will explain all forms of moxibustion that I use in my practice if I recommend it for your case.
Electro-Acupuncture
E-stim can be applied to acupuncture needles to amplify the pain-reducing and decongesting action of acupuncture.
Herb Consult & Dietary Therapy
Many conditions improve more quickly with the addition of herbal medicine and/or dietary therapy. Recommendations are available whenever you come for acupuncture.
The following services are available as add ons to your acupuncture treatment. $30 per service / additional 15 minutes
Tuina
Tuina is a massage technique similar to Shiatsu and is typically done clothed. Neck and shoulder tightness respond very well to this technique.
Cupping/Guasha
Facial Cupping / Guasha
Back and Shoulder Cupping / Guasha
Foot Massage
A 15 minute foot massage after a treatment can be a real treat as you are very relaxed after acupuncture and may want a few minutes more to get ready to get back to the world.
Still have some questions?
“I was extremely petrified of needles, but since I suffered from severe migraines, my husband encouraged me to try acupuncture. Suffice to say, not only am I cured, I have a session every 2 weeks.Acupuncture has improved my body overall , I feel energetic, more alert and most importantly, my sleeping habits has improved immensely!”
