Initial Acupuncture Visit
Your initial visit typically includes clinical intake, discussion of history and goals, relevant examination or movement assessment, Chinese medicine assessment, collaborative treatment planning, and initial treatment when clinically appropriate. Recommendations and next steps are reviewed before you leave. Exact components vary based on presentation and clinical judgment.
Returning Acupuncture Visit
Returning visits focus on follow-up assessment, treatment, review of how you have responded, and thoughtful adaptation of the care plan as function improves.
Dry Needling
Dry needling may be part of an acupuncture appointment or positioned as a related technique depending on clinical presentation and practitioner scope. Booking and billing details are confirmed with the practice—this page does not create a standalone booking assumption until the care model is verified.
Herbal Consultation
An herbal consultation supports individualized herbal recommendations as part of integrative care. Confirm with the practice whether this fee represents a standalone visit, add-on, or follow-up format.
