Your Treatment

Treatment may incorporate acupuncture, herbal remedies, diet, exercise, and massage. Duration of treatment depends on the nature of the complaint, its severity, and how long it has been present. Acupuncture is scheduled as often as three times a week or as little as twice a month. Some need only a few sessions while others need ongoing treatment to balance chronic patterns established over time. As symptoms improve, fewer visits are required; individual progress is the guiding factor.

Practitioners assess a person's health by feeling the radial pulse at each wrist and by observing the color and form of the face, tongue, and body. This information is interpreted in the context of a person's present and past complaints, work and living habits, physical environment, family health history, and emotional life.
