What to Expect at Your First Visit

Prices:

  • Initial Consultation – 60 minutes: $125
  • Follow-up Consultations – 60 minutes: $110

Your First Consultation

At Taira Daisuke’s Japanese Acupuncture, you will complete a new client and consent form upon arrival. Your initial consultation will involve a comprehensive discussion of your health concerns, followed by your first treatment.

Follow-Up Consultation

Follow-up consultations focus on continued treatment. Given the holistic nature of traditional Japanese medicine, each session is unique. Typically, Taira Daisuke will insert between 10 to 25 needles during an acupuncture treatment.

After the needles are inserted and a heat lamp is applied to the relevant Meridian channel, you will be left to rest in a softly lit room with soothing ambient music for about 20 minutes.

The effects of acupuncture are cumulative, and it may take between 2 to 5 treatments to notice changes in your body.

Checklist Before You Arrive

  • Wear Comfortable Clothing: Light and loose attire ensures comfort during your treatment.
  • Eat Lightly: Have a light meal about 2 hours before your visit. Avoid heavy meals or being too hungry before acupuncture.
  • List Your Medications: Bring a list of any medications, including vitamins and supplements, that you are currently taking.
  • Be Honest: Provide a truthful assessment of your lifestyle. This helps our practitioners tailor a treatment program to your specific health needs.
