Initial treatment entails a full health history to come up with a Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis and treatment plan. This also includes a first treatment followed by a treatment plan recommendation based on your specific needs. ***Please verify with your insurance provider for coverage of acupuncture by a Registered Acupuncturist. Because most acu-points are accessed from the elbow to fingers, and knees to toes, for most appointments, you will be able to remain fully clothed if you opt to wear comfortable clothing that permits access to these areas. We also suggest that you bring a pair of shorts and t-shirt in case. This is not Registered Massage Therapy treatment with Acupuncture. If you are interested in Acupuncture that is covered under Massage Therapy benefits, please check availability under 60 min massage with acupuncture.
