At
Vickery Health & Wellness, treatment is more than just needles.
Depending on your reason for coming in, you may be treated with
essential oils, given dietary
guidance, taught exercises, encouraged to make lifestyle changes or
prescribed herbal formulae
What to expect from a treatment
Expect your first visit to be anywhere from an hour and a
half to two hours. Dr Vickery will ask you a wide-ranging series of
questions, take your pulse and look at your tongue before deciding
which treatment protocol to use. Although some practitioners use the first visit
merely to gather information, Dr Vickery prefers to include an initial
treatment.
You should feel free to ask plenty of questions, especially if this is
your first visit, but even if you’re a seasoned veteran. And make sure
you bring up any- and every- thing you’ve been experiencing, whether it
seems connected to your current condition or not. Because acupuncture
looks at the connection between all the body systems and between the
body, mind and spirit, the more information you provide, the more
effective your treatments will be.
