What to Expect
At the initial intake, a comprehensive diagnosis will be conducted, including a detailed interview of your health problems and a physical examination which includes an in-depth examination of the pulses at both wrists.
Comprehensive Diagnosis
The first visit is an initial intake that involves a comprehensive diagnosis. This is a systemic approach to medical problems, even for symptoms that seem to be relatively simple.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is, technically speaking, the insertion of hair-thin needles that are filiform (that is, not hollow, so they aren’t designed to draw blood) into various points on the body to effect a positive therapeutic outcome.
