Q. Why acupuncture?
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine are one of, if not the oldest documented medicine in the world. It is one of the most effective, natural, drug-free therapies available in the United States. Furthermore, Acupuncture has an extremely low risk of negative side effects and is often experienced as relaxing and pain-free, yes, pain-free.
With acupuncture, the mind and body are treated simultaneously, and at Tigerlily Acupuncture, we offer this beneficial, compassionate healthcare in a relaxing and rejuvenating environment.
Q. What is treatment like?
Upon arriving, you will be greeted and given a detailed patient information packet. This usually takes 15-20 minutes to fill out. After reviewing your information, we will talk about your health, your symptoms, and your goals. This initial conversation is one of the most important parts of your treatment because it gives us the accurate picture we need to identify the imbalances present in you at that moment in your life.
In concluding the initial health interview, we then ask you to lie down on the massage table. We take your pulse and look at your tongue which helps us formulate the appropriate diagnosis for you. Next, the soothing music begins; now you are ready for acupuncture. Most of the acupuncture points we will initially use are located below the elbow and knee and extend to the hand and foot. We place the thin, painless needles in specific points that we determine are necessary to achieve your stated health concern and goals.
