Your first acupuncture treatment explained...
Case History
Step
An assessment of your general health and medical history, which includes the following:
- A physical examination: body, tongue and pulse diagnosis.
- An opportunity to raise any questions that you may have before treatment.
- The discussion of a treatment plan tailored to your requirements.
Needle Insertion
Step
Prior to the insertion of needles, the practitioner will discuss your treatment plan and the proposed locations for needle insertion. He will then insert needles to various depths at these strategic points on your body.
Needle Manipulation
Step
After placement, the practitioner may gently manipulate the needles to stimulate the acupuncture points or channels. Moxibustion or cupping therapies may be added to the treatment at this point if necessary.
The needles remain in place for approximately 20 minutes.
Needle Removal
Step
After approximately 20 minutes, all needles are removed and disposed of hygienically in sharps containers.
