Therapeutic Programs at Acupuncture NYC

Welcome to Acupuncture NYC, where we combine ancient wisdom with cutting-edge scientific research to deliver optimal therapeutic results. Explore our range of therapeutic programs designed to address your unique health needs.

The Initial Visit

Overview

Your first visit to Acupuncture NYC begins with a comprehensive consultation that helps us understand your concerns. We will discuss your medical history, current health concerns, and lifestyle. This initial conversation is crucial as it allows us to set up the foundation for a personalized treatment plan.

Assessment

Our assessment adheres to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, focusing on the Eight Principles to guide our diagnosis. The essentials of this assessment are:

  • Pulse Diagnosis: Evaluating the speed, rhythm, depth, and texture allows us to gain insights into the state of your internal organs and corresponding acupuncture meridians.
  • Tongue Diagnosis: Observing your tongue’s color, shape, and coating provides valuable clues about the health of your internal organs.
  • Physical Examination: A general physical exam is especially valuable in treating musculoskeletal conditions. We thoroughly researched the painful areas, restrictions in range of motion, trigger points, and just a few.

Treatment Plan

Based on the findings from your initial assessment, we develop a treatment plan to address your needs. In addition to an acupuncture treatment, this plan outlines the necessary therapeutic procedures, such as cupping, gua sha, massage therapy, and moxa therapy, and how many sessions you may need. If required, we will send you a report explaining our findings and what we think is the best course of action.

First Acupuncture Treatment

During your first session, you will receive your initial acupuncture treatment designed to start addressing your health concerns immediately. Depending on your condition, the session may also include:

  • Cupping Therapy relieves muscle tension, detoxes, and improves blood circulation.
  • Gua Sha is used to relieve pain, boost the immune system, and improve circulation.
  • Moxibustion: A technique that involves burning dried mugwort on the head of the needle. This technique warms and invigorates the flow of Qi and dispels pathogenic cold and wind.
  • Medical Massage: To further enhance the therapeutic effects of acupuncture and help relax your body.

Duration

The initial visit typically lasts 90 minutes. This allows ample time for both consultation and treatment, ensuring that we address your needs thoroughly.

The Follow-Up Visits

Follow-up visits build upon the progress made during your initial visit.
The visit begins with a discussion of your experiences since the last session. We assess your progress and any changes in your symptoms or overall health. This evaluation helps us understand how your body responds to treatment. Based on the evaluation, we may make necessary adjustments to your treatment. These adjustments could involve changing the points used in acupuncture to target specific areas and meridians of the body that need more attention.

Continued Care

The frequency and duration of follow-up visits depend on your individual needs. We typically recommend regular acupuncture sessions to achieve the best results, especially for chronic conditions. We’ll work with you to determine a schedule that supports sustained improvement without overwhelming your daily routine.

Duration

Follow-up visits generally last between 60 to 90 minutes. This duration allows us to thoroughly assess your progress and address all the health issues, as has been outlined in our treatment plan. In addition to acupuncture, follow-up sessions may include complementary modalities such as cupping therapy, moxibustion, and medical massage. These therapies are integrated into your sessions as needed, based on the ongoing assessment of your condition and therapeutic goals.
