What to expect in your first treatment.

You can save time by fill out your intake form. Otherwise, you can fill out the form in our office.

Depending on the complexity of your health issues, your initial exam and consultation will range between 5 to 30 minutes. Treatment typically lasts 30 minutes lying down in a darken room using one-use sterile disposable needles. Relaxing music will be playing.

The office has many treatment rooms, and at times all the rooms are filled with patients. Shasta and her assistants may filter from room to room to take care of each patient’s needs. I am an approved extern facility for Five Branches Acupuncture University, and frequently have students assisting me in the rooms.

After your treatment, you will be given a treatment plan that will include duration, type, and frequency of acupuncture treatments, and receive herbal nutrition and lifestyle advice from a Chinese medical perspective.

We request that you do not wear perfumes or fragrances.

We will bill insurance if we are in network. Discount packages are available.

Acupuncture:

As a primary health care modality, acupuncture works by treating specific points along "meridians" in the body with thin, pre-sterilized disposable needles and/or other adjacent modalities, to promote health, and alleviate medical problems. The World Health Organization, recognizes acupuncture as an effective medical treatment and has issued a list of diseases amenable to acupuncture treatment. The Food and Drug Administration classifies acupuncture needles as "safe and effective medical devices". Insurance coverage is commonly available.

Clinical Herbology:

Drawing on ancient herbal medicine from around the world, these "special foods" are formulated on an individual basis for nourishing, strengthening and regulating the flows of energy and blood through out the body. Using the International GMP standard, or "good manufacturing practices", these herbs are known for their strict hygienic policies and quality control.

Nutrition:

Individualized programs are formulated to restore balance within the body by using modern and ancient food therapies which recognize the energetic properties of food specific for individual constitutions, climate and season.
