What is a Telehealth Acu-Session?
Due to COVID-19 shelter-in-place, our telehealth acu-session was born. Dr. Emily wants to make this experience as close to regular in-person treatments as possible. We will provide patients with press-on points such as magnets, ear seeds, or stick-on moxa to be placed on acupuncture points at home without the need for physical contact. This will include a consultation to review treatment as well as the cost and delivery of the press-on points. We use press on points and 12000 gauss high strength rare earth magnets for its powerful effectiveness.
As far as the session goes, Emily will meet you online on our practice management platform which is HIPAA compliant, and start with a check in consultation on where to put the points. Then Emily will instruct you where those points are while you'll be the person sticking the adhesive points on your body. Then we'll disconnect and you'll lie down and rest for 30 minutes, and after that, Emily will reconnect with you to close up.
