What to Expect
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive Traditional Chinese Medicine evaluation, including pulse and tongue diagnosis to assess your overall health patterns. We'll discuss your weight loss history, current symptoms, and lifestyle factors. Based on this assessment, we create an individualized treatment plan that typically includes weekly acupuncture sessions and customized herbal formulas.
Treatment sessions usually last 45-60 minutes and may include acupuncture, cupping, or other modalities. We monitor your progress closely and adjust treatments as your condition improves. Most clients begin noticing changes in appetite and energy levels within the first few weeks. Significant weight loss typically occurs over 3-6 months of consistent treatment, with many clients continuing maintenance sessions to support their long-term goals.
Why Choose Seattle AcuHealth Clinic 針灸醫館
Our unique integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern weight loss strategies sets us apart from conventional clinics. While others focus solely on diet and exercise, we address the underlying energy imbalances that contribute to weight gain. Acupuncture helps regulate hormones naturally, reduces stress, and curbs cravings without medications or side effects.
Our practitioners have decades of combined experience and are licensed in multiple disciplines. We take time to understand your individual constitution and health patterns, creating truly personalized treatment plans. Many clients report not just weight loss, but improvements in sleep, energy, mood, and overall well-being. Our approach is gentle yet effective, making it suitable for people who haven't tolerated more aggressive weight loss methods.
Insurance & Pricing
We accept most major insurance plans for acupuncture treatments, and many plans now cover acupuncture for weight management and stress reduction. Coverage varies by provider, so we'll verify your benefits before beginning treatment. For services not covered by insurance, we offer affordable self-pay rates and payment plans. Initial consultations are $120, with follow-up acupuncture sessions at $85. Herbal formulas are priced based on the specific herbs prescribed. We also offer package deals for multiple sessions that provide better value.
First-Time Patient Tips
Before your first visit, avoid caffeine for at least two hours and eat a light meal. Don't brush your tongue on the day of your appointment as we need to assess its natural appearance. Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to acupuncture points on your arms and legs. Bring a list of all medications and supplements you're currently taking.
During treatment, follow your herbal protocol consistently and take herbs as prescribed. Keep a food and symptom diary to help us track your progress. Be patient as Traditional Chinese Medicine works gradually to restore balance. Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine as these can interfere with treatment. Stay well-hydrated and get adequate rest to support your body's healing process.
