New Patient Acupuncture - 1Hr

Service Description

Your first appointment begins with a conversation. Dr. Karen will sit down with you to review your health history, current medications, and what brought you in — whether that's pain, poor sleep, stress, or something that's been nagging you for years. She'll examine areas of concern and may check your pulse and tongue, which in acupuncture helps her understand what's happening in your body as a whole. From there, she'll explain her recommended treatment plan in plain language and answer any questions before anything begins. Your first treatment happens the same day: you'll rest comfortably while hair-thin, sterile, single-use needles are placed at specific points. Most patients are surprised by how little they feel — many doze off during the session. Plan for about 60 minutes. Wear loose, comfortable clothing, and eat a light meal beforehand.
