For a new patient, it generally takes 60-90 minutes to finish. For follow up treatments of an established patient, it generally takes 45-60 minutes to finish. Treatment time may vary depending on the situation and condition of the patient, but a longer treatment session does not exactly mean a better outcome.

Most of our patients see us weekly; however, each case is unique. Your practitioner will craft a clear treatment plan for you and will tell you how often you should have treatment. Everyone responds to treatment differently so your results will depend on your particular situation. There are certain issues that can be addressed in a visit or two; other cases might require more treatments until your goal is met. Your practitioner will be able to guide you on the results you can expect. Often, patients will notice relief from a specific symptom straight away, though we may need more time to work on the underlying root of the issue.

We recommend bringing your medical records, medications and test results, as they can greatly help our practitioners in linking your ailments to the TCM diagnosis.

Please wear loose clothing so that sleeves can be rolled up above the elbows and pant legs can be pulled up above the knees during your treatment.

Avoid brushing your tongue before your treatment. Tongue-evaluation is one of the major diagnostic tools of Chinese medicine, the other being pulse-taking. The tongue’s natural coating is a big part of the inner environment of your body. The coating and features of the tongue is a statement that the body is attempting to tell.

Avoid alcohol, coffee, or any kind of stimulant before your treatment. Anything that alters the inner environment of the body alters the diagnosis, and hence alters the treatment. If you’ve taken such stimulants before your treatment, please notify your practitioner during your evaluation to avoid potential misinterpretation of your physical condition.

Avoid arriving at your treatment on an empty stomach. Acupuncture treatment tends to move the body Qi. Receiving acupuncture on a low sugar level may lead to lightheadedness, dizziness or even fainting. A full meal is not necessary, just a snack can give enough energy to the body.

Please turn off your cell phone during your treatment. In order to provide the best care possible, we ask that cell phones be turned off to avoid interruptions.

Certainly! If it suits your schedule better, you're welcome to see a different practitioner each week. Our clinic operates collaboratively, ensuring that every practitioner you encounter has access to your chart and is fully briefed on your case. This ensures seamless continuity of care regardless of who you see.

Acupuncture is a method that uses stainless steel filiform needles that are inserted into certain points on the body to stimulate Qi (energy) and blood promoting micro-circulation. The overall well-being of a body depends on the quality of Qi and blood. The flow of Qi through pathways in the human body are called meridians. Through these meridians, acupuncture has physiological effects on the body. To learn more about acupuncture, read our blog post about acupuncture

Generally, no. Acupuncture needles are extremely thin with an average thickness of about 0.2 mm. This is 1/11th the size of a regular medical syringe. Some people may feel a slight itchiness, warmth, pressure, and/or soreness over the needling sites. To the most sensitive patient, the needling may have a feeling of a prick or slight soreness, but not something significant.

One of the greatest advantages of acupuncture is that there are very few, if any, side effects after a treatment. As stated by the World Health Organization, acupuncture is considered a very safe practice. Acupuncture rarely causes damage if performed by licensed practitioners.

Acupuncture will not interact or interfere with any type of medications. However, as the treatments progress, patients may find that they no longer require the same medication dose. It is important that you work with your doctor to adjust your prescriptions accordingly.

Developed in China for more than 3,000 years, Chinese Medicine (or often referred as Traditional Chinese Medicine, TCM), works by finding the “imbalance” of the body and treating this imbalance for its short-term or long-term purpose. TCM uses a very different way to approach human health compared to western medicine.

Drink plenty of water and get a good night’s rest if possible. Nothing is prohibited but please avoid strenuous activities and alcohol, as they can negate the benefits of your treatment.
