Consultation
A first
visit to our clinic will consist of a consultation
with an acupuncturist prior to any kind of
treatment. This consultation is done so the
practitioner can ascertain both your prior medical
history and personal history as well as to establish
a caring patient practitioner relationship. Chinese
medicine unlike Western medicine, looks at the
patient as an individual with different personal
characteristics that contributes to their makeup; therefore
this information is important to the practitioners
that treat them. During the consultation the
patient is free to voice any questions or concerns
which will be promptly addressed by the
practitioner. It is also the patient’s prerogative
to decide to what extent or how many treatments they
would like to pursue, in conjunction with the
recommendations of the doctor or nurse
practitioner.
About the Needles
Medical
Acupuncture Associates uses only single use sterile
needles for all acupuncture procedures. The needles
unlike syringe needles, are smaller, solid (instead
of hollow) and designed to be inserted clean and
removed clean.

Syringe needles are designed to cut
the skin and underlying tissue to allow a place for
liquid to pass through the body, acupuncture needles
are designed to pass cleanly through the skin
separating the tissue only while they are inserted.
There is a very low risk of infection.
