What to expect at your first Acupuncture treatment: 

Intake: a 20-minute intake to determine your unique presentation and any underlying imbalances. Your tongue will be assessed and pulse will be felt.

Treatment: Either side-lying or propped up on the treatment table, your practitioner will ensure you are in a comfortable position. Needles will be inserted, and you will be handed a buzzer to rest on the table in a comfortable position for ~15-20 minutes. Most patients feel very relaxed during this time. Moxibustion will be included if you present with a breech baby.

At-home care: You will be sent home with a list of recommendations and a recommended treatment plan. You are not required to enter into a treatment plan.
