What to Expect
First time delving into the world of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) & Acupuncture?
Feel welcome to read the information below for a comprehensive run through of what you can expect from your very first treatment and beyond.
Welcome to the world of Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese Medicine, also referred to as 'TCM', uses many different tools to help balance and heal the human body. These techniques are used to stimulate acupuncture points which are located on the "Meridian" channels.
The 12 main Meridians connect the surface of the body to the interior organs and structures, while also connecting to each other and extra, deeper channels. Through this network of pathways, we can treat more than physical pain but restore balance and resolve emotional and spiritual pain & discomfort.
01 - Initial
Your first vist.
Your first consultation will be 90mins, in this time you will spend the first 30mins sitting down and chatting with Dr. Mitch about not only your health concerns (main complaint) but also other aspects of your overall body health and maybe having a cup of tea.
​
Gathering information about your Digestion, Sleep, Emotional wellbeing, musculoskeletal pain, and your menstrual cycle helps to get a clear understanding of any disharmony within your body.
​
Once the information is gathered you will receive 60mins of treatment which may be a combination of Acupuncture, Moxibustion, Tuina, Gua Sha, or Cupping to help you on your Way to Wellness.
02 - Follow Ups
Ongoing care to reach your goals.
Follow-ups are generally performed weekly for 4 sessions in total (including Initial). These sessions are 60mins and after a quick check in about any changes with your health concern we get straight into treatment.
03 - Maintenance
Care beyond resolution.
The aim of The Meridian Way is to get you to this point where weekly treatments are no longer needed and we can move to fortnightly, monthly, then up to 6 monthly treatments just to keep the balance within your body. but of course should life intervene Dr. Mitch is always here to help.
We're all about healing
