What to Expect in a Private Acupuncture Session

Private acupuncture appointments include a longer check-in and treatment time than community acupuncture. This allows the practitioner to explore symptoms in more depth and tailor each session to your needs.

Depending on your presentation and the practitioner’s discretion, treatments may include:

• Front, back and/or side acupuncture treatments.

• Cupping or gua sha

• Other supportive modalities as appropriate

Sessions are designed to be thorough, unhurried, and responsive to your condition. Often private sessions include more than one treatment (for example, it may include a front and a back treatment, two side treatments, or an acupuncture treatment and cupping/guasha session).

Why Choose Private Acupuncture

Private acupuncture may be a good option if you:

• Prefer a private room and one-on-one care

• Have complex, chronic, or deep-seated concerns

• Would benefit from longer treatment time

• Are interested in additional modalities as part of treatment

• Want more than one treatment per session - front and back treatment, acupuncture and cupping, etc.

The private setting allows for flexibility in treatment approach while maintaining a calm and supportive environment.

Frequency of Care

Some patients receive private acupuncture occasionally, while others choose ongoing care. Your practitioner can help you determine an appropriate treatment frequency based on your goals and how your body responds to treatment. Some clients who usually receive Community Acupuncture occasionally book Private Acupuncture to get a more thorough check-in and to discuss complex issues that cannot be addressed in community setting.
