WHAT IS A TYPICAL TREATMENT LIKE?

After obtaining a health history, a classic acupuncturist will examine the tongue and take the pulses. The tongue is the only muscle in whole body that is not covered by skin so it is like getting a inside view of your tissue. The coating on your tongue should be a thin, white coating. The Chinese say that the coating is the springing of the intestines; therefore many intestinal abnormalities can be easily diagnosed with this evaluation. The taking of the pulses is very important not only is a rate taken but the strength and quality of the pulse is evaluated. The combination of the tongue, pulse and history will give you the diagnosis. The imbalance in the body is determined and then proper points can be chosen. If Chinese herbs are recommended this can be discussed also. The initial visit lasts for 1 1/2 hours and a follow up visit is 1 hour. After each treatment most patients describe a feeling of contentment and relaxation.
