What to Bring to your first visit ?
New Patient
Washington Acupuncture Center, our policy is to see all new patients within 7 days of the initial phone call.
For patients who have insurance covering acupuncture, you will need to pay copay and some coinsurance for the treatment. For patients without insurance coverage for acupuncture, you can pay single visit or package rate. We try to make acupuncture affordable to all patients who are in need. So do not feel hesitate to ask about possibility of reducing fee because of your difficult financial situation.
How to prepare for your first visit?

Acupuncture is tuning up energy movement inside body. So it is normal if you feel tinglings inside body or a bit spaced after session.
