Procedure for the first session

The first consultation lasts 60 to 75 minutes. The practitioner will conduct an assessment based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine: observation, questions about your symptoms and general condition, and pulse taking. Fine, sterile needles are then inserted into specific points on the body for 20 to 30 minutes. The treatment is painless for most patients.
