Schedule Your Acupuncture Visit in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL
We are so enthusiastic to meet you!
For most issues I suggest 2 treatments/ week for 2-4 weeks then slow the frequency of the sessions until relief is felt consistently between treatments. It benefits most people to come in 1x/month as preventative maintenance to manage chronic complaints or just to stay well.
Your First Visit
Check-In – We will greet you at the front desk and check you in. You’ll be given consent forms to sign on the ipad. Forms include informed consent stating you know you’re receiving treatment, an arbitration agreement-which malpractice insurance requires clients signing, a list of costs of services, and a HIPAA form-which means we will keep your record & information private. There is also a consent form for injection therapy if you are receiving that service.
Get Settled – Use the restroom if required. Figure it will be 40-60 minutes until you will be easily able to use the restroom again. There is seating to enjoy until Erica Joy or staff brings you to the treatment room.
Consultation & Evaluation – Erica Joy will consult with you and answer any questions. She then develops a tailored treatment appropriate to your condition. You’ll then kick your shoes off and get in a comfortable position. Wear loose clothing - pants and shirts which easily go up to the knee and elbow. Or we have spa towel-robes.
Treatment – If receiving acupuncture needles are placed, then you rest for 20–40 minutes. If laser, Erica Joy will place the laser on each chosen point for about 30-40 seconds each. Or proceed with the service you choose.
Wrap-Up – Needles are removed and your treatment plan is discussed. Any other adjunct therapies are optional add-ons.
Check-Out – Book your next session at the front desk and you’re good to go! Packages & memberships are available.
Post-Treatment - Most people feel a pleasant sense of wellbeing after acupuncture. Sometimes the results of treatment take a day or 2 to kick in. Please feel free to contact Erica Joy with questions, concerns, or feedback. These are therapies; it often takes a series of treatments to receive desired outcomes.
