During the initial visit your acupuncturist will spend extra time reviewing your medical history, lifestyle habits, and desired outcomes for treatment. Before the treatment, diagnostic tools that are specific to acupuncture, including pulse diagnosis, abdominal palpation, and tongue examination, may also be used to further give the practitioner more information to create an individualized treatment plan.

For an established patient, follow-up Acupuncture sessions focus on assessing your progress and adjusting the treatment points according to your progress. Each treatment is an opportunity for your practitioner to check in about your health and make any needed changes to the treatment plan, which is tailored to your specific needs and energetic findings.
