ORIENTAL ACUPUNCTURE AND HERB THERAPY CENTER
Welcome to Oriental Acupuncture and Herb Therapy Center.
We are available Monday-Wednesday by appointment at our New Hampshire location, more availability on Saturday and Sunday at our Massachusetts location by appointment.
Your First Visit
When you arrive for your first acupuncture appointment I will ask you to complete a comprehensive intake form. The acupuncture intake form asks questions about your current state of health, past illnesses, and family history. These questions are important because the holistic approach of Oriental medicine takes everything into account. Your current symptoms may not seem related to past health issues, but our bodies are complex landscapes and everything that happens to them leaves its mark.
After reviewing your intake form, we will discuss your condition, and I will examine your pulse and tongue, which are two of the basic diagnostic methods of Oriental medicine. The acupuncture points I choose will depend on your condition, but you can expect approximately 20 needles. Once the needles are inserted, I will leave you to lie comfortably for 15-20 minutes with the needles in place. Many people find acupuncture treatment deeply relaxing, and it is not uncommon for patients to fall asleep during this time.

Cupping is an ancient technique, used in many cultures, in which a special cup is applied to the skin and held in place by suction.
