What Will My Acupuncturist Do?
Your session begins with a thorough assessment designed to understand not only where symptoms are occurring, but why they may be happening.
Modern Medical Assessment
- posture analysis
- strength and mobility testing
- orthopedic tests
- palpation to identify tension, nerve compression, or injury
Traditional Chinese Medicine Assessment
- pulse diagnosis
- tongue evaluation
- questions about sleep, digestion, stress, and lifestyle
Based on your findings, a personalized treatment plan is created. Hair-thin, sterile needles are then placed into specific points to help reduce pain, improve movement, regulate the nervous system, and support healing.
Most patients feel comfortable and relaxed during treatment, and many even fall asleep.
