MARCOTTE ACUPUNCTURE $40-60 sliding scale 983 E Washington Ave El Cajon, CA 92020   619-822-1330

Your First Visit

Instructions for your first treatment:

• Wear loose, comfortable clothing that rolls easily above your knees and elbows.
• Eat before you come in. Getting a treatment when you're running on fumes will be less effective. I am using your body's own resources to help you heal.
• Please visit the Make An Appointment page and click on the New Patient Intake Form link. Print it, fill it out and bring it with you. It will take about 15 minutes to fill out.
  
• Bring a medication/supplement list if you have one.
• Prepare to be here for 1.5 hours.
• Text me when you are parked and wait for me to give you the ok to come in to the office.
• If you need to reschedule your appointment, please give me 24 hrs notice.
• And welcome. I look forward to working with you.

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 45-50 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. If you decide acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine is how you would like to treat your current health complaint, we will create a Treatment Plan for you.
