Frequent Q & A

Do I need to do anything special before my appointment?- Prior to your visit, please make sure you have eaten something light an hour or two before you arrive. Please wear comfortable fitting clothing. Clothes that provide easy access to elbows and knees are ideal. If you have a relaxing music cd that you would like to listen to, please bring it in. I'm sure I will enjoy it to. 

How long is my 1st visit?  Please set aside about 2 hours for your first visit. At this appointment we wil go into great detail about your health care concerns. It is through our discussion that a diagnosis can be made and an appropriate treatment plan be devised.  Subsequent treatments are about an hour and 15 minutes in length.

What might I expect as an outcome from a visit? Some of the expected outcomes are increased energy level, better focus, and a greater sense of well-being.

Is there any after treatment care? Please refrain from any intense physical activity after your acupuncture treatment. This is a time when you want to relax and let the body work on healing. If other modalities, such as cupping have been performed, additional homecare instructions will be given.

Is acupuncture covered by insurance? Always check with your insurance company to see if you have coverage. Some insurance companies cover acupuncture. I no longer participate in any insurance programs. Health Savings Accounts typically accept acupuncture as a payable service.

What does acupuncture cost? The initial comprehensive intake is 40.00 and  the acupuncture treatment is $70.00.  Subsequent treatments are $70.00. Please let me know if there is a financial hardship.  Please see the service menu for additional offerings.
