What can I expect on the first visit?
During the initial exam, a full health history will be taken.
Questions will be asked regarding symptoms, diet, lifestyle
and past medical history. Your pulse and tongue will be
examined to give a picture of the influences of Qi, blood, yin
and yang in the body. Acupuncture, moxibustion (burning
herbs to heat acupuncture points), cupping (suction to
release toxins and stagnation from the muscle layer and
skin), auricular therapy (ear acupuncture), and acupressure
may be performed.
The initial visit ranges from 60-90 minutes.
Follow up visits are from 45-60 minutes.
How many treatments will I need?
People's responses to acupuncture and herbal treatment
can vary widely, but generally a normal treatment course is
once to two times a week for 4-6 weeks. If the problem is
chronic, a longer course of treatment may be required
including a maintenance phase.
Does Insurance Cover Acupuncture?
Many California insurance plans do include acupuncture
treatments in their policies. Also, many companies will allow
reimbursement under a Flexible Spending Account. Please
ask your insurance company about coverage or
reimbursement for out of network acupuncture visits.
