Your First Appointment
Your initial visit will be focused on your health history, your health concerns and goals, and determining your needs. This appointment will be 75-90 minutes. Your initial visit includes acupuncture, and any add-on therapies such as gua sha, cupping, moxibustion (heat therapy), or topicals. We may prescribe an herbal formula or discuss lifestyle and dietary modifications to further support your health.
Try not to come overly full or hungry. Wear loose, comfy clothing so that the points around your elbows and knees are easily accessible.
Follow-up appointments are recommended to establish a treatment plan, and are generally one hour. We will make practitioner referrals for specialized or additional care, as needed.
Ask questions! Chinese Medicine is a totally different way of looking at the body. Please feel welcome to ask questions at any time.
About Balance Acupuncture
Are you ready for a change in your health and wellbeing? We’re here to help! Using the time-honored wisdom of Chinese Medicine, we create personalized treatments for pain, fertility, stress, immunity and more.
Our goal is to empower you with the care and tools you need to find balance, build resilience, and reach your health goals, naturally.
Acupuncture is an empowering medicine; it helps get to the root of what’s going on, so you can take back control of your health. I experienced this firsthand at age 19, when acupuncture helped treat my allergies and asthma, and completely shifted how I see health and healing.
