Treatment

At Jade Mountain Acupuncture we use acupuncture and other forms of Oriental medicine, including Chinese herbs, cupping and moxibustion. These forms of treatment have been proven effective for a variety of conditions.

Each person is different in how they respond to treatment. At your first visit, your practitioner will do a detailed intake discussing your chief complaint, health history and lifestyle. Once this is done a personalized treatment plan for you can be determined.  

The first visit will typically take an hour and a half, which includes a detailed intake and acupuncture treatment. Your subsequent visits will be much faster - usually an hour long. We’ll make a short review of your progress followed by an acupuncture treatment. 

Typically acupuncture treatments are given 1-2 times a week  depending on your condition. Acupuncture has a cumulative effect and is most beneficial when treatments are frequent and scheduled close together in the beginning. On average it can take 4-6 treatments to start seeing a change. The more chronic an issue is the longer it can take to treat.
