The Treatment
The first Acupuncture treatment consists of an extensive interview in which the practitioner asks many questions regarding health history, diet, lifestyle, symptoms and complaints. In addition, the pulses are examined (there are 12 in Chinese medicine), and various points are palpated. All of the information gathered is used to diagnose any imbalance in the patient’s body-mind. The treatment begins with the insertion of small, single-use, sterile Acupuncture needles. The patient generally feels little or no pain and can actually expect to feel quite relaxed. Follow-up visits, if necessary, are suggested depending on the extent of the imbalance and on the acute or chronic nature of the patient’s symptoms.
