Over 40 Years Acupuncture Experience

Feel Better. Enjoy Life. 

To provide you with the highest quality of service, as a patient of ours, we want you to know what you can expect at your appointments and how many treatments you might need. These are only guides, and we strive to get you the most effective and lasting results in the shortest number of treatments.  We do want you to understand that the more acute issues resolve quicker than chronic issues.  

Plan on being with us for a minimum of 2 hrs for the New Patient Acupuncture appointment and 1 hr​ 15mins for Follow-Up Acupuncture appointments. 

Feel Better.  Enjoy Life. 

1. Relief Care Phase
At this starting phase, we focus on reducing symptoms and getting you fast relief.
- Treatments are scheduled closer together.
- As you feel better, we start spacing them out.
- Once your symptoms stabilize, we move to the next phase.

2. Corrective Care Phase
Now that you're feeling better, we begin addressing the root causes.
- Treatments are spaced further apart.
- We work on restoring balance and long-term improvement.
- When your progress holds between visits, you're ready for maintenance care.

3. Maintenance Care Phase
In this phase, we find the ideal frequency to keep you feeling great.
- We track how long your relief lasts.
- For chronic or structural issues (like arthritis), maintenance may be more frequent.
- Care is tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle.

4. Preventative Care Phase
This is ongoing wellness care - like an oil change for your body.
- Regular visits every few months to stay in balance.
- Helps prevent issues before they start.
- Keeps your energy, immunity, and vitality strong.

We aim to get you the best, longest-lasting results in the fewest treatments possible. Everyone's journey is unique - and we're here for you every step of the way.

​

The Peak of Treatment is 1-4 days, so the more frequently and aggressive you are, the better for sustainability.

​

Acute Ailments (only having the issue less than 3 months):
The Beginning of the Relief Care phase is the first 12 treatments. 

Chronic Ailments (longer than 3 months):
The Beginning of the Relief Care phase of treatments is the first 24 treatments. 

Based on how frequently treatments are received, below are some ideas of the type of improvement you may expect to see in the Relief Care phase:

• Less than once a week: marginal results that do not provide sustained results and will take much longer to receive sustainable results.
  
• One (1) treatment a week: expect 30% to 70% improvement in 2 to 4 months but it will not last long term until you graduate to the next phase.
  
• Two (2)  or more treatments a week: expect 30% to 80% improvement in 2 to 6 weeks but will not last long term until you graduate to the next phase.
  

When sustained results are maintained for 2 weeks, we will graduate to the next phase and gradually add more time between sessions to graduate you to the Maintenance / Preventative Phase.

We strive to give you the best treatment to help you find the relief you seek.  We ask you to commit to the journey as we are committed, and together, we will work to achieve results.
