What to Expect During Your Community Acupuncture Session
During your first visit with us, we have a private consultation with you and go over your current health concerns as well as your pertinent health history. This gives you the opportunity to express any concerns or questions you may have. There is a thorough traditional diagnosis, which consists of looking at the tongue, taking your pulse, and asking specific questions to get to the root of your current imbalance. After this, we proceed to the treatment area where you take a seat in the reclining chair of your choice, where you are needled by one of Circle's resident acupuncturists. A typical treatment can last from 20 minutes to an hour, depending on the condition being treated.

It is important however to remember that acupuncture is a process, and one which usually takes multiple treatments to help most conditions. This could be anywhere from 1-12 treatments depending on your constitution and the conditions being treated, at an interval of 1-3 visits per week in most cases. In general, acute conditions are quicker to treat than longstanding chronic ones. A treatment plan is discussed with you during the initial intake. On subsequent visits, we do a quick check-in to see how you've been feeling since the previous treatment, and if anything new has come up which needs to be addressed. We always check your tongue and pulse for changes. This gives us valuable information as to how you are responding to treatments. Time to sit back, breathe, and enjoy!

• It is good to have something to eat about an hour before your treatment.
• Wear comfortable clothes that allow access to areas below the elbows and knees.
• We ask that you refrain from wearing any perfumes or scented oils within the clinic. Many patients, including pregnant women and those undergoing radiation and chemotherapy are very sensitive to fragrances.
• Silence is golden! Keep in mind that there will be others in the room with you receiving treatments. Please turn your cellphones off when entering the clinic and be respectful of those around you who have come to relax and renew as you have.
• If possible, set aside time after your treatment to rest.

• Payments are due at the time of service. We accept cash, check, or Mastercard and Visa.
• Kindly give 24 hour notice if you are unable to make your appointment. A fee of $15 will be charged for missed appointments.
• Due to our low sliding scale fees, we do not accept insurance claims. We are happy to provide you a receipt to submit for reimbursement.
