During the first acupuncture session, the acupuncturist will assess your general health. The investigative process will include questions relating to your current symptoms, past treatments & medical history. The pulse on both wrists could be taken to determine how energies are flowing in the body. As part of the diagnosis, the acupuncturist will assess the structure, color and coating of your tongue before making a treatment plan specific to your needs.
