Acupuncture tends to have a cumulative effect, so while it is not unknown for a problem to be improved within one or two treatments, the best results can require a few more. I will ask you questions about your signs and symptoms and possibly take your pulse and look at your tongue. The pulse taking and tongue diagnosis enable me to get a view of what is happening to your body’s internal systems and combined with the questions, help me to make a diagnosis and write a treatment plan for you. I may need to look at your posture and movement or palpate different areas of your body to check for pain or tenderness. This will contribute to the diagnosis and treatment plan.
