Your First Visit
After you schedule your first neuro-acupuncture appointment, your intake form will be emailed to you. Please complete it before your arrive for your first appointment. The intake form asks questions about your current concerns as well as your general health. It is important to get a sense of your overall health including digestion, sleep and stress so that your health concerns can be fully addressed and for you to receive the best results.
Your current symptoms may not seem related other areas of your health, but our bodies are complex landscapes and everything including your physical health, mental health and environment are all inter-related.
After reviewing your intake form, we will discuss your condition. We may go through some physical tests to help asses your pain and symptoms. The neuro-acupuncture points selected will depend on your condition, but you can expect approximately 10-20 needles which may be on your head and body. Once the needles are inserted it will be ensured you are comfortable. You will rest for 15-20 minutes with the needles in place. Most people find acupuncture treatments deeply relaxing, and it is not uncommon for patients to fall asleep during this time.
