What to expect when you come for treatment?
At your first appointment
Generally the first appointment takes between 75 to 90 minutes. It is a good idea to bring with you copies of previous tests, lab results and a photo or list of medications and supplements you are currently taking.
The consultation starts with a physical assessment that includes pulse and tongue, abdominal palpation and specific body areas related to your presenting health concerns. We will discuss the preliminary diagnosis with you prior to treatment and provide a brief overview of the recommended treatment options.
You will be placed in a comfortable position on a treatment table for the duration of the treatment and we encourage you to breathe softly and take the time to rest. Treatment most often involves both sides of the body and areas such as the hands, feet, scalp, ears, arms and legs. After your treatment you may also be prescribed a Chinese herbal medicine formula to support your specific health concern.
