The Great Turning Acupuncture

Our initial acupuncture treatment with evaluation is a comprehensive experience designed to understand your unique needs and craft a personalized treatment plan. Here's what you can expect: 1. Consultation (30 minutes): Beata Maslanka, our licensed acupuncturist, will take the time to listen to your concerns and medical history. You'll discuss your symptoms, lifestyle habits, and overall health goals. 2. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Evaluation (15 minutes): Beata will utilize various TCM techniques to assess your energy flow (qi). This may involve taking your pulse on both wrists, examining your tongue, and asking questions about your sleep patterns, digestion, and emotional state. 3. Treatment Plan Discussion (15 minutes): Beata will explain her findings and discuss how acupuncture and potentially Chinese herbs can benefit you. Together, you'll decide on a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. 4. Initial Acupuncture Treatment (30 minutes): Beata will use sterilized, hair-thin needles inserted at specific acupoints on your body to stimulate qi and promote healing. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and many find the experience relaxing. The entire initial appointment typically lasts around 1.5 hours. What to wear: Wear loose-fitting clothing that allows access to your arms and legs. What to expect after the treatment: Some people experience immediate relief, while others may notice a gradual improvement over several sessions. Beata will recommend a follow-up treatment schedule based on your progress.
