4. What should I expect from the initial visit?

As with all first visits to a medical practitioner or health care service provider there are some things we are going to need to know before we can begin to support you.

We will ask about your medical history, current medications and any problems or illnesses you are currently experiencing. 

This is followed by a pulse and tongue diagnosis. There is a reason why we ask you to stick out your tongue. Your tongue gives us a good insight into what is currently happening in your body.

Once we have this information we will be able to provide a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plan designed specifically for you.

Treatment we may recommend includes acupuncture, traditional chinese herbal medicine, preventative health care, life style changes and suggestions for beneficial foods and exercise.

Expect to spend around 30 minutes with us during this phase of getting to know you.
