Your Acupuncture Treatment Plan
Here are some general guidelines on the expected pattern of treatments you should expect for your problem.
• Initial Visit
Our comprenhensive initial treatment is a sit-down talking session followed by an initial acupuncture treatment. During the 20 - 30 minute discussion, you will cover you medical history, family history, likely causes, discuss your problem, lifestyle and other factors which can be influencing your problem. Here, we will create a treatment plan and let you know what our expectation for results. We strive to be honest as to whether acupuncture can cure, provide relief or if you need to see another western or eastern professional. Many people comment that the comprehensive discussion with Rhonda is by far, the most that any professional has ever talked with them about their health
Initial treatment No-risk policy
During your initial visit, after reviewing your health issues, history and lifestyle contribitors, if you feel that acupuncture is not something you wish to consider, you can terminate the treatment before the acupuncture session with no fee.
• Following visits
We will follow your treatment plan based on the schedule
determined in the initial visit. Typically, patients return
weekly or twice weekly for an initial period to determine
if acupuncture is solving their problem.
Please keep in mind that Acupuncture treatments work cumulatively.
General treatment guidelines ...
- Muscular pulls, strains and knots will frequently respond in one visit and 3 will typically give you a sense if acupuncture is working for you.
- Infertility can be treated intensely or as simply as before/after a transfer. We will generally recommend more treatments for those who are more stressed, having side-effects or have a history of miscarriages
- Chronic illnesses or internal problems typically require 10 or more visits 1-2 a week. Then the course of treatment may be repeated for another 10-12 visits.
- Acute problems (lasting 3 months or less) are generally treated more frequently in a shorter period of time (6 to 12 visits, 2-3 times a week).
Generally, as your condition improves, the recommended frequency of treatments decreases.
