Please List Any Medication You Are Taking
Current health habits and symtoms:
I acknowledge the effectiveness of Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, dietary/nutritional therapy, and other TCM methods for preventing and treating various health issues and enhancing overall well-being. While beneficial for many conditions, I understand these treatments do not substitute any medical tests or therapies advised by my physicians. I will maintain my prescribed medications alongside any alternative treatments received at this clinic.
I've shared my health details and medications with the TCM Practitioner/Acupuncturist/Registered Nutritionist and will keep them informed of any changes. The practitioner isn't liable for omissions in information. I recognize no guarantees are given, and the effectiveness of treatments can be influenced by medications and lifestyle. I take full responsibility for my treatment outcomes.
I acknowledge that Acupuncture and related TCM practices are generally safe. Bruising from needle insertion is normal, while fainting is rare but can occur due to extreme nervousness, hunger, or fatigue. Needling sensitive points below the waist or near the breasts may be required, and verbal permission will be sought.
Herbal medicines are usually safe and effective, although some may experience occasional side effects like abdominal upset, diarrhea, or sweating in response to treatment.
Fees for initial appointments with an assessment, diagnosis and treatment are as follows:
Please be punctual for all scheduled appointments. If you arrive late and cannot receive services due to time constraints, and your spot could be taken by another patient, a $50 fee will be added to your next visit, unless a medical emergency caused the delay.
