Initial Acupuncture
75 minutes – $90.00
Your initial acupuncture appointment begins with a short intake during which we will listen to your issues and go over your intake forms and make an assessment about what needs to be balanced based on the information you give. Every effort will be made to make you comfortable while the needles are working their magic. Everyone is different and treatments may vary depending on the day and person. Sometimes, you’ll have 10 needles in, sometimes 25, maybe more. Our job is to do what it takes to bring your body and energy back into balance.
Follow-Up Acupuncture Appointment
1 hour $85.00
During your follow up appointments we will review past treatments and what your results have been and discuss what direction we need to move in order to progress your healing and wellbeing.
Cupping
Half an hour $65 -but may also be integrated into your acupuncture treatment as well.
Cupping is a type of therapy that uses small glass / plastic or silicon cups which are suctioned onto the skin for a few minutes at a time. This therapy is used to increase circulation, invigorate qi, and relax the muscles. It is most often used for muscular pain/tightness, but can also be used for anything from digestive disorders to allergies.
The process feels great — kind of like a deep massage. But it is actually the opposite of massage: instead of applying pressure, the cups gently pull the muscles upward. This eases tight muscles, and improves blood flow to promote faster healing. Cupping also supports lung function when people suffer from coughs due to common colds, bronchitis, or asthma. It can be used in addition to acupuncture or as a stand-alone therapy.
Guasha
Guasha is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that involves stimulation of the surface of the skin with a round-edged instrument. Gausha helps to increase healthy circulation of the blood through the tissues. Immediate relief from pain, stiffness, fever/chills, cough, nausea, etc. is commonly experienced.
