During this 15-minute consultation, no treatment is provided; instead, it's an opportunity for a meet-and-greet style discussion. You can ask any questions you have about acupuncture, from understanding its principles to discussing your specific concerns and goals.

What it is
Most of this first acupuncture visit is spent piecing together the pattern behind what’s been going on — questions about your symptoms, sleep, digestion and stress, plus feeling pulses or looking at your tongue — then the needles themselves and a clear sense of the treatment approach.
