Question 1

If we decide that acupuncture is the appropriate method

Accepted Answer

We’ll start with a comprehensive medical intake and pulse assessment,
followed by a detailed explanation of your diagnosis.
From there, we’ll discuss treatment options, create a plan, and if needed,
address any needed lifestyle, dietary, or activity recommendations.​
Once we have reviewed the treatment plan together, we will align our expectations and begin.
​
The number of acupuncture treatments varies.
A typical plan is one session per week for 4–6 weeks, with acute conditions often requiring fewer sessions than chronic ones. The severity and duration of the problem can also influence treatment length.

Question 2

If we decide that TMS is the appropriate method

Accepted Answer

During our initial meeting, we will conduct a thorough medical intake assessment and a simple stress test.
It’s remarkable how often we encounter the assertion, “I’m perfectly fine, and everything is well-managed.”
This stress test serves as an objective gauge and occasionally acts as a wake-up call for individuals who may indeed have a handle on things, but the associated costs can be significant.We will review the process, align our expectations, and begin.
During a series of treatments, we will explore the physical and emotional mechanisms that create pain, the placebo effect, the fears that feed the cycle of pain, and pain as a cultural phenomenon. We will delve into the intricate workings of the brain’s pain-producing mechanisms, examining relevant research studies. We will explore the remarkable concept of neuroplasticity, the brains astonishing ability to gently replace old patterns with healthier, more positive ones. We will gradually transform the narrative of pain that has been ingrained within us over the years. Yes, we tell ourselves countless stories that eventually become fixed thought patterns and habits.
​
What you resist, persists.
​
Pain represents merely one facet within a complex tapestry of experiences, alongside fears, behaviors, habits, and doubts. The process of healing addresses all these interconnected layers.Given the amount of material and the number of exercises you will be doing at home,
you will need a series of treatments to achieve your desired results.Practice it until you get there!
The TMS method is inherently geared towards addressing chronic issues,
necessitating a structured regimen of treatments. While some see results in 5–6 sessions,
experience shows that most treatments typically take around 10 sessions, and sometimes more.The duration of symptoms, the individual’s response to treatment,
and the level of compliance with the treatment plan all impact the length of time it takes to recover.
