- For ALL new or previous patients, we will be evaluating their condition, and determine our diagnosis for treatment, how many acupuncture treatments the patient will receive and what referrals they will receive such as nutrition and physical therapy or exercise.
- Patients will then receive appointments for the recommended number of treatments. Appointments for those follow up treatments can be made with our clinic assistant.
- After the recommended number of treatments are received, the patient will be diagnosed again, and a determination will be made for if and when they can receive further treatment.
- For additional treatments, the patients will have to call for availability for another course of therapy.
- EVERY EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO GIVE EACH PATIENT THE HELP THEY NEED AND ALSO TO GIVE AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE ACCESS TO THE HELP WE CAN GIVE.9
