What does an acupuncturist do?
During the initial exam a full health history is taken. Questions are asked regarding health, symptoms and lifestyle. An appropriate physical exam is conducted, including pulse and tongue diagnosis.
Gathering information enables the practitioner to effectively diagnose and look for imbalances that may have contributed to a person’s health problems. The practitioner can then create a treatment plan and prescribe herbs if needed.
Once a diagnose has been made, an acupuncturist will place fine, sterile needles at specific areas in the body. This safe and painless insertion of the needles will provide adequate nourishment to cells, organs, glands, tissues and muscles. This can eliminate pain and restore balance and harmony, as well as the body’s ability to heal itself—ultimately leading to optimal health and well-being.
