Office Visits

Acupuncture

The first visit to Michigan Associates of Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine begins with a thorough intake by a board-certified acupuncturist. The intake is a necessary information-gathering part in the acupuncturist’s method of treatment.

During this step, the acupuncturist explores the patient’s medical history, looking to uncover any ongoing health concerns. This fact-finding mission takes 30 to 40 minutes, during which the patient and acupuncturist discuss the patient’s physical, emotional and psycho-spiritual state as well as lifestyle.

Following the intake and an acupuncture treatment (which lasts 30 minutes), the patient and acupuncturist reconvene to create a treatment plan that includes acupuncture treatments, dietary and herbal recommendations, lifestyle changes and referrals to complementary professionals where appropriate.

In addition to acupuncture, a personalized treatment plan may include massage, moxabustion, cupping and electro acupuncture.

Follow-up Visits: Because the body is constantly changing, subsequent visits will always begin with a brief intake to assess the progress of the treatment and discuss patient concerns, resulting in modifications to the initial treatment plan as necessary.
