What to Expect on Your First Visit:
Acupuncture is perhaps the best known of all Traditional Chinese Medicine Modalities. On your first visit, you will be evaluated for current complaints and a thorough medical history will also be taken. This will determine your diagnosis and you will be treated with an acupuncture point selection designed to correct your specific pattern imbalance.
Treatment involves the insertion of fine needles along defined medians and is relatively painless. As QI flow increases you might experience sensations of tingling, heaviness, or warmth. The most immediate sensation reported by patients is a sense of deep relaxation.
Acupuncture may be just one part of your ongoing treatment plan. It may include dietary suggestions, exercise and lifestyle recommendations, and self-care outside of the office!
Acupuncture can also be used as complementary care along with Western medical treatments.
What is Acupuncture?
The healing powers of acupuncture cannot be denied. This Traditional Chinese healing practice is over 3,000 years old and can be used to treat a wide range of conditions. The treatment promotes bodily functions and promotes our natural self-healing process by stimulating strategic sites on our body.
How it Works:
The most common acupuncture method in Oakland is the insertion of fine, sterile needles on acupoints across the body. Besides needles, an acupuncturist may also use electric stimulation, infrared heat therapy, cupping and herb, and nutrition guidance to trigger your natural healing process.
