• Before your first appointment, please come 10 minutes early to complete paperwork.

What to expect at your treatment

• During your first office visit, you will come early for paperwork. You'll meet your practitioner and talk about a course of treatment. The number of treatments necessary will depend upon your condition, if your symptoms are chronic or acute and your health in general.
  

• You'll then learn our system for payment and scheduling. Then you'll proceed to the treatment area, select a chair, take off your socks and shoes, and relax. The acupuncturist will feel your pulse and look at your tongue, which help determine how you'll be treated.
  
  
• Your acupuncture treatment might include points on your arms and hands, legs and feet, and/or head and neck. Because acupuncture channels flow across the entire body it is possible to treat back problems, for example, with points on the hands and feet. You will remain fully clothed. Please do wear loose clothing that can comfortably roll up to your elbows and knees.
  
  
• People experience acupuncture differently, but most feel no or minimal pain while needles are being inserted. Acupuncture needles are sterile, metallic, solid, and hair-thin. Some people feel energized by treatment, while others feel relaxed.
  
  
• You will relax with your needles in for at least 20 minutes. The average treatment time is 45 minutes to an hour.
  
  
• You'll be receiving treatment with other people, who are also relaxing. We keep the atmosphere quiet, and speak in whispers, if at all.

-Was on vacation in San Diego on vacation and I love acupuncture so I decided to try this place.  Had a great treatment from Nicole.  It's a beautiful open space, the fountains and subtle music help you really get into the zone. (Lisa B.)
