Your First Visit
The first visit typically lasts 75 minutes and involves numerous questions aimed at creating a detailed picture of your health history. It’s a good idea to bring any lab results or prescriptions you have, as they may contribute important information. A more focused exam may be necessary at this time as well (a lung exam if your primary concern is a cough, for example). Recommendations and supplements may be given, however it takes some time to establish the most effective treatment plan for you.
Your follow-up visits
These visits are typically 30-45 minutes. A full, detailed physical exam may be necessary on the second visit.
The number of visits required to achieve your goals will depend on your health concerns and how quickly you have integrated any recommendations into your life. A few visits within a couple months is common. Once we have seen improvements, visits will likely become less frequent and will start to focus on maintenance. If getting acupuncture, visits will be more frequent.
