Fertility consultations include herbal consultation and often dietary advice - both partners may or may not be required to attend the initial consultation.

All patients are required to complete a Patient Consent Form. We receive the right to refuse treatment to any individual who does not adhere to our office policies.

Preparing for Acupuncture Treatment

Dress comfortably. Loose pants that roll up easily are good. Eat moderate meals before your sessions. Eating in excess or not at all can interfere with treatment. Stay away from alcohol, coffee or caffeinated beverages right before your session. Please abstain from sexual activities or vigorous physical activities before and after your appointment. Plan your activities so that if you need to rest or just go slowly after treatment, you can do so. Also, be aware of your body. When you keep good mental or written notes of your responses to treatment, it’s helpful in treatment planning.
In an effort to create a peaceful and harmonious environment for everyone, we ask all our clients to kindly put their mobile phone on silent or vibration mode.

Please be on time, so that you may benefit fully. There will be a charge for missed appointments without 24 hours notice.

What to Expect from Treatment

First of all, you can expect the practitioner to do a full evaluation, which including taking your medical history, taking you pulse, observing you tongue and using palpation techniques to assess your condition. It is common to experience deep relaxation during or after acupuncture treatments. Also, while some patients require more rest or sleep after having their sessions, others feel more energized.

Number of Treatments Needed

The recommended course of treatment is generally proportionate to the length of time you have experienced your ailment or illness. Acute conditions generally require fewer sessions than chronic illnesses. For facial rejuvenation, the recommended course of treatments is 10 sessions for best results.  With your input, the practitioner can usually gauge the total number of treatments needed to resolve your specific complaint in about 2 or 3 sessions. After that time, the practitioner can make an educated assessment and tell you what to expect in the future. When seeking acupuncture treatments, patients are advised to have sessions at least once or twice a week, in order to achieve the desired results. Protracted and complex conditions may require frequent treatments over several months or more.

Side Effects to Treatment

Generally, there are no side effects to treatment. As the body rebalances, most patients feel better. As a result of this rebalancing, patients may experience changes in bowel movements, urination patterns, appetite, sleep or emotional states. Also, on occasion, the original symptoms can get worse for a day or two before getting better, as a part of a healing cycle. Some people with extremely sensitive skin may get light bruising on certain spots, but it is not common and they will disappear in a few days.

Different Styles of Acupuncture

Many different styles of acupuncture have arisen from different cultures all over Asia, while Europeans and Americans have adopted a variety of these traditions. Many acupuncturists also use techniques other than the insertion of needles, such as moxibustion and cupping. Moxibustion is an herb that is burned on or near the surface of the skin creating gentle heat to promote good blood circulation. Other tools include cupping and herbal medicine.

Medications & Other Conventional Therapies

Only discontinue your medications and other therapies at the advice of your prescribing physician. People who want to decrease their use of pharmaceuticals can do so under the supervision of their M.D.
