What to Expect

When patients find out about the "broad spectrum" of health issues that TCM has learned to heal over the centuries, they will say, "I should have come here first!"

Since very few people  have "Acupuncture" on their insurance policy, the first question most patients ask is "HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?". That can be tough to answer. What kind of problem is it?  How long have you had it?  Is it manageable or is it an emergency now?  Have you seen a lot of doctors already?  Are you on a lot of medicines?

The more chronic the issue, the more treatments are needed. With simple to acute problems, just a couple of treatments can do the trick. There is no set formula that tells us how to determine what you need to do.  You are the quality control manager on that!

The broad spectrum of TCMs effectiveness makes it much less expensive than going to the traditional western clinic where you are referred to specialist after specialist, test after test after test after.........

       A better question would be, "HOW MUCH IS IT WORTH?"

What are you willing to do to correct the problem(s)?  How long do you think it might take to correct a serious, long-term health issue?  One session? Two or three? The truth is it takes about

1 month of treatment for every year the problem has been present.  So, if you have had back pain or hip pain, headaches, or high blood pressure etc. FOR YEARS, you will probably need

to commit to several months of treatments and herbal formulas, if you expect to improve your health issue.  If you want to get better, you have to do something about it.  Ever spent $1,500 on

your air conditioning?  What's your issue worth when compared to other living expenses like rent, food, transportation, etc.?  Some people spend more on their dogs, cats, or horses than they

do on their own health issues.

We don't want to treat patients one time and then they go home and tell others that it did not work.  What did not work was the commitment to a reasonable plan of treatment to solve

THEIR problem(s).  No one can resolve your problems without your assistance.

We rarely see patients with simple issues. They have usually been suffering for many years and have been taking pain or other medications daily for years and are no longer responding to

normal western medicine (which IS COVERED by insurance co.'s).  Ask your insurance company why this form of safe, effective medicine is not covered while the way more expensive

way is covered.  Let me know if they have an answer!

After years of doctor's visits, tests, shots, therapies, drugs, ointments, etc. they are not much better than when it all started (some are much worse).  Many thousands of dollars trying to "fix

the problem" with my hip, my shoulder, my low back, my digestion, my migraines, my headaches, my insomnia, my hot flashes, my vertigo, my hemorrhoids, my word that's a lot of stuff to deal with.  Well, we deal with all these problems in one place, right here.

We don't have to send you down the hall to the tennis elbow specialist, or around the corner to the knee specialist or to the gastroenterologist about your constipation.  We do all of that!

The cost depends on the number of visits and types of treatments necessary to accomplish your goals.  If you have sciatica that has bothered you off and on for years, you should expect to have

4 - 6 sessions to give it a fair chance of changing a serious issue quickly.

New Patients require more time to discuss problem(s), exam patient's area(s) of concern, formulate a diagnosis according to TCM guidelines, devise a treatment plan, and then employ TCM modalities in the course of treatments. Simple, yet effective.

Most patients are usually quite happy and amazed that "those needles really did fix me!" We hope to serve you and your family with "grandfather's medicine" to help prevent disease and strengthen the body to help prevent injuries.  There is preventative medicine, it's TCM!

The rapid growth rate in the herbal industry presents many practitioners with the complex and confusing task of identifying and selecting high-quality products. While there are reputable companies providing quality herbs, there are also unethical manufacturers selling substandard products that generate negative press for the whole profession. Although many herbal products on the market share the same traditional name and similar ingredients, the potency and purity of products can vary drastically between companies. The therapeutic efficacy of an herbal product can only be guaranteed with tests to verify authenticity, potency, purity, and safety.
