Acupuncture in Loveland
What to expect from your acupuncture treatment:
Each visit will start with a conversation.
Your initial treatment will be an in-depth discussion about your health history, your health concerns that are bringing you in, and your wellness goals to be achieved through treatment. I will provide you with realistic expectations about what we can achieve, how frequent treatments need to occur, and for how long.
Treatments include a customized point selection based on your personal needs, with additional modalities such as tui na massage, gua sha, moxibustion, electric stimulation of the needles, or fire cupping. I will spend most of the time in the room with you, but will also allow you 20 minutes to rest with the needles. Each component of your treatment is aimed at activating your parasympathetic nervous system (rest & digest, something we don’t allow often) so that you leave feeling relaxed and zen.
For chronic issues that have been ongoing for years, it is common for 8-10 treatments to be necessary before lasting change is achieved. For acute issues (a few months or less) relief is found quicker. We like to use the analogy of peeling back an onion; helping the entire body system to heal takes time and must be done in layers. This holistic approach is how to achieve long lasting change, as opposed to masking symptoms and creating further health issues in the process.
