After you enter the plaza, this is the place you’re looking for:
Since this is a Japanese martial art Dojo as well, we hope you can follow their tradition to face the front wa ll -> take a deep breath -> bow and take off shoes before you come in. Traditionally this is to show respect to the founder of Dojo and Dojo itself, but we take it as a good way to adjust your emotional status.
* If your religion is against it, It’s totally OK to skip bowing.
If you’re new patient , you will need to fill out a new patient intake form , we have it in clinic, you don’t need to bring it yourself.
For returning patients or those who come early, we encourage you to do 5-10 minutes meditation while waiting.
When it gets to your appointment time, our acupuncturist will take you to a private room for diagnosis . He will ask you a few questions, feel your pulse on wrist and neck on both sides, take a look of your tongue, then do some other checks according your complain.
After diagnosis, If we need to do acupuncture on your back, or need you to change to gown, we will use this room.
Other patient will have their acupuncture done out here. The needle usually stays there for 10-30 minutes .
After acupuncture treatment, we will have your herb capsules ready in a pill box , with a note of it’s name. If you want to know the detail of what you’re taking, you can find it in our Chinese herb formula page.
