Private Treatments

The private treatment style offers you more one-on-one time with the practitioner and, of course, a private room. It allows for more in-depth interviewing, which is often helpful for complex cases that would need individualized herbal formulas.

An acupuncture visit can last anywhere from an hour to two hours, and can include other techniques such as moxibustion (heat therapy), cupping, electricity, and massage. The number of treatments will vary with each individual and condition being treated. About 90% of patients respond well to acupuncture, with noticeable improvement.

At your first visit, after mutual introductions, there will be a review of your medical history, including questions concerning lifestyle, emotions, diet, and work. After examining your symptoms, the acupuncturist will feel your pulse and look at your tongue to help determine any pattern of disharmony, and will employ other appropriate diagnostic techniques. Since no two patients are alike, you benefit from a careful consideration of all the factors that might be affecting your health.

Treatments will begin with the first visit and there may well be prescriptions for herbs or supplements. All in all, you should expect a successful and encouraging experience when you visit Asheville Community Acupuncture, and should leave with a feeling of optimism in regard to your health and your health care.
