Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a complete healing system that can address most health conditions. It works by supporting the body’s natural ability to heal, repair, and regulate itself, and it can be beneficial for physical, mental, and emotional issues. Traditional Chinese Medicine has the potential to help almost anyone, young or old, to recover from specific symptoms and achieve greater overall health and vitality. TCM includes Acupuncture, herbal remedies, and bodywork therapies.
The number of treatments needed depends upon the duration, severity, and nature of each individual’s condition. You may need only a single Acupuncture session for an acute issue. A series of five to fifteen treatments may resolve many chronic problems. Some degenerative conditions, or conditions that have been present for an extended period, may require ongoing care. Based on the assessment of your condition, your acupuncturist will provide an estimate of your treatment plan before starting care, ensuring the thoughtful guidance you would expect from licensed acupuncturists.
Please note that follow-up visits require a minimum of 45 minutes for the treatment to be effective; clients who are more than 15 minutes late to a follow-up appointment will be considered a no-show and charged our late cancellation fee.

Your first visit begins with a detailed health history and a diagnostic evaluation that includes pulse and tongue assessment. This process helps your practitioner identify patterns of imbalance and determine the most effective course of care.
A typical session lasts sixty to ninety minutes and may include acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, electro-acupuncture, or targeted therapeutic massage. Your practitioner may also recommend herbal remedies and simple self-care practices to support your progress between visits.
Most patients experience the session as deeply calming, restorative, and grounding.
Acupuncture works well with massage and energy medicine, supporting the principles of Traditional Chinese medicine and enhancing overall balance. For ongoing care, our Community Acupuncture Clinic offers an accessible group option.
