What will happen at my first treatment? (Duration 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours)
During your first visit we take the opportunity to discuss your symptoms, your medical history and your health and
lifestyle. This is to ensure your treatment plan is a perfect match for your specific circumstances.
Onset and history
Location, pain (Level and type)
How your condition affects you
What helps it, what makes it worse
General Health background
Health Lifestyle questions
Eating habits and diet
Family situation
Work, leisure and hobbies
Family health history
Current medication, supplements
Medical treatment/tests you have had
Medical history, illnesses, operations, accidents
Questions about you: sleep, appetite, mood etc
Pulse and Tongue diagnosis
Pulses are felt on both wrists
Tongue is observed
A treatment plan will then be designed specifically to address the diagnosed imbalances in your
body and acupuncture points will be chosen and used in your first treatment.
Your preparation for your first treatment
Ensure you have eaten a light meal before you come for treatment.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing as many of the points used are below the knees and
on the arms as well as the stomach and back. Your modesty will always be respected
and you will be draped with towels as appropriate to the treatment.
Bring a list of your current medications.
Keep an open mind. Everything you have to
say is of interest to me and your feedback
and response to the treatment guides me in
refining your treatment plan. Your
involvement is an integral part of the
healing process. There is clear evidence
that when people feel actively involved in
the treatment, there is a more beneficial
outcome.
You will be asked about your symptoms
