The first visit consists of an initial evaluation and an acupuncture treatment. The initial evaluation lasts about 15 to 20 minutes, and includes a tongue and pulse diagnosis (a TCM way of diagnosing the energy status of the individual’s organs and overall health) as well as a discussion of one’s health history. Also, during this initial evaluation, the patient engages in an in-depth question and answer session where the practitioner seeks other relevant information about the individual. Often the healing process begins during this initial evaluation. This evaluation will determine the practitioner’s treatment strategy for each patient’s particular case. At its conclusion, the practitioner will prescribe a customized treatment plan that estimates the number of sessions expected for an individual to achieve a particular goal.
