​

What is included in my first visit?

​

Because Dr. Orsburn likes to spend time getting to know her patients well, your first visit will typically last around 90 minutes. Having your forms filled out in advance of your appointment will greatly increase the amount of one-on-one time the doctor is able to spend with you. 

 

We'll start with a conversation about the reasons for your visit, your health goals, and your past and present health history. Part of Dr. Orsburn's intake procedure includes tongue and pulse analysis, two key diagnostic tools used in Chinese Medicine. Your individualized treatment strategy may include one or more of the following modalities:

 

Body Acupuncture

Auricular Acupuncture

Chinese Scalp Acupuncture

Electrical Acupuncture

Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture 

Cupping 

Gua Sha

​

​

​

How many treatments will I need?

​

This varies depending upon the condition being treated and the length of time it has been present.

 

An acute problem may require only a few treatments. Complex or long-standing issues may require treatment once or twice a week for a few months. We will develop and discuss your treatment plan together during your first consultation.
