1) Will my insurance cover my acupuncture appointment costs?
Acupuncture is covered by many people's health insurance; you will be supplied with the proper forms to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Acupuncture & Herbal Solutions is a fee-for-service clinic, which means payment is expected when services are rendered.
2) Can I get acupuncture if I am under a physician's care?
Yes, Western medicine and Oriental medicine are complementary. We can answer any questions your physician may have regarding treatment.
3) Are the needles sterile?
Yes, all the needles used are disposable needles and used only once.
4) Is it painful?
No, the needles used in acupuncture are thin like a hair and inserted through tubes because they are so flexible. They are not hypodermic needles used to give injections. Clients are pleasantly surprised that their treatments are pleasurable, comfortable and amazed at how small the needles actually are.
5) How much does it cost?
I offer a free 15-minute consultation to evaluate your treatment
possibilities with acupuncture and to answer any specific questions
you might have. The initial appointment is approximately 1 1/2
hours and includes a full assessment with pulse and tongue assessments.
The initial fee is $150 and subsequent appointments
are $85 and lasts approximately 1 hour. Cosmetic
appointments are $100.
6) How long will it take to see results?
Acute conditions respond more quickly than chronic conditions. Each case is individual and will be discussed on the initial visit.
7) What is so special about Chinese Herbs?
During your appointments, I will blend a custom herbal formula that will enhance your treatment. I use Kan Herbal Extracts, which are of the highest quality and processed here in the United States under the strictest standards. These herbal extracts have proven to act quickly and have the benefit of being convenient.
