Join The Eggs Journey
The first acupuncture treatment
During the first acupuncture session, we work together to assess your general health. As each treatment is unique to you, this will facilitate the most effective treatment on an individual basis.The intake process will include questions relating to your current symptoms, past treatments, family medical history, diet, digestive system, sleeping patterns and emotional health. The pulse on both wrists will be taken to determine how well blood and qi are flowing in the body, and the structure, color and coating of your tongue will be observed to help determine diagnosis. Finally, with clients consent and comfort in mind, the intake will be followed by a detailed visual assessment of the whole body, checking for any scars, moles, or structural irregularities that may affect the Chinese Medicine channel system.
Based off our assessment, specific acupuncture points, structural points, and treatment modalities (cupping, moxa, tui na) will be selected and treatment will begin. The first session may last up to two hours including intake. Subsequent treatments will last approximately one hour. Dietary and other recommendations will be discussed at appropriate times throughout the treatment process.
