What to expect at your first visit:
Clients will sit down privately with Caroline to discuss their primary reasons for their visit, as well as give a comprehensive health history discussing all components of their lifestyle, family history, and other daily habits. After the interview, objective evaluations will be made of your pulse and tongue, and together with the history, a complete diagnosis will be made and a treatment plan discussed. You will receive your first acupuncture treatment that day and discuss other treatment modalities that may be beneficial for your presenting problem, which may include moxibustion, cupping, electrostimulation, or herbal medicine. The entire visit should take approximately 1½ to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the problem.
Continuing visits:
Treatments may be recommended anywhere from twice per week to twice per month, depending on the problem. At each visit, Caroline will sit and discuss changes that may have occurred since the last visit, reevaluate objective signs, and revise the treatments as things evolve. Follow up visits usually last about an hour.
Payment:
All major forms of payment are accepted. Some insurance companies will reimburse for certain acupuncture treatments, and you will be provided with a superbill with the appropriate codes that you can submit to your insurer.
