2) Assessment for treatment includes:
Interview
Your acupuncturist will ask additional questions. All information obtained is specifically related to assessment and treatment. As a client, you certainly have every right to ask questions about the process, the rationale, and the strategy behind the upcoming treatment.
pulse assessment -
Pulses are taken at your wrist (radial artery), in 3 positions. This information gives your acupuncturist information as to how your body's systems are working together.
tongue assessment
Your acupuncturist will observe the shape, coloration and coating of your tongue to gather diagnostic information for use in your
acupuncture treatment. Try to avoid smoking, or eating colored foods for 30 minutes before your appointment.
Treatment
Treatment will be explained to your satisfaction. If you decide not to pursue a particular treatment, you will still be expected to pay for the full cost of the initial intake, and your treatment cost may be pro-rated and re-scheduled for a future date.
Treatment may consist of acupuncture, acupressure, cupping, gua-sha, or acupressure with an "acu-pen" or small, microcurrent device. All treatments will be explained fully.
After your appointment
Try to avoid any activity that may be considered too invigorating for up to 2 hours after your appointment.
