Billed toExtended health plans

Initial Acupuncture Assessment and Treatment 60 Min This appointment includes a comprehensive intake and assessment followed by an acupuncture treatment based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles and Dr. Tan–style meridian balancing. Treatment focuses on restoring balance through related meridian systems rather than needling directly at areas of pain or dysfunction. This global approach supports circulation, regulation, and the body’s natural healing response.

This acupuncture treatment is coupled with cupping, qigong energy, tuina/acupressure or moxibustion. Cupping is one of the therapeutic techniques in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and is similar to a backward deep tissue massage. Qigong energy is similar to reiki or an energetic massage treatment utilizing Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles and works on the physical, energetic and spiritual energy fields. Tuina/acupressure is also a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine and works on the same TCM principles (the meridians and acupuncture points) as acupuncture. Moxibustion can be applied to areas of the body where there is cold pain in order to help warm the body either directly, with a base of ginger or garlic to protect the skin or directly on a needle to affect an acupuncture point directly.
