FAQs
How Many Treatments Will It Take?
Usually, a series of treatments are necessary to resolve a condition. Each case and condition are treated individually. A consultation is required to determine requirements. Treatments can be between 45 to 90 minutes in length with the first consultation usually lasting longer. Most acute conditions can be treated successfully within 3 to 10 visits. The relief stage for chronic conditions can take up to 20 visits.
Does Acupuncture Treatment Hurt?
Most patients have stated that there is little, or no pain as very fine, sterile, disposable needles are used. Our sterile needles are single use and disposed of through medical waste services.
How long does a treatment last?
An initial visit for a new patient lasts approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours. For follow up visit and established patient visits last approximately 40 to 60 minutes in length.
What kind of Physician is Dr. Sarah and Dr. Mark?
Are they an MD?
They are not MD's or DO's. They are Doctors of Oriental/Chinese Medicine (designation depends on graduate program attended, Ie: DDS vs DMD). While the educational programs are very similar in many ways, only 200 hours of pharmacology are completed in Chinese Medical Programs and 1000 hours of Chinese Herbs and Formulas are added. The post-graduate Master programs are 3000 hours and 4 years. The Doctor programs are an additional 1-2 years and 1528 hours and can be a diagnostic hybrid of eastern and western medicine.

Patient Resources:
Acupuncture
For hundreds of years before the X-rays, MRIs, CAT Scans, blood labs or any other modern medical test, physicians accurately diagnosed and treated the entire range of conditions using only their hands, minds and simple tools from nature. The time they spent evaluating their patients enabled them to treat with often remarkable results. We continue that superior tradition of time-intensive treatment and evaluation today. We use techniques from both eastern and western medical traditions to treat you, the person as well as your condition fully. We do on occasion order modern testing or refer your condition to other professionals. Our main goal for you is results!
Traditional Chinese Medicine
The techniques of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, Moxibustion, Cupping, Medical Manipulations (TuiNa) and Gua Sha have been refined over thousands of years. We are now finding the scientific explanations for these modalities but what really matters is the consistent results that are experienced in internal medicine as well as pain relief. Treatments are gentle, safe and effective.
Herbal Prescriptions
Traditional Chinese Medicine uses specific combinations of herbs to create powerful formulas. Individualized prescriptions match your signs, symptoms, emotional temperament and overall composition of your body. We treat you, the individual not just the illness. The right diagnosis plus the right formula always yields results! We may prescribe a few days or a few weeks.
Creativity + Hard Work
Each treatment may involve the use of multiple integrative therapies, designed specifically for you, from both Eastern and Western medical traditions. Sessions respect your comfort level while working to efficiently accomplish your therapeutic goals.
A Caring Environment
We want the best care for you. This includes treatment from our highly trained, caring staff. Your condition, health and safety are our top priority. If we cannot properly treat you here, we will help you find the right person or facility using our referral network of highly skilled medical practitioners.
