Our Approach: Combining Acupuncture with Functional Medicine

Here’s something many clinics don’t talk about.

Acupuncture works best when you understand why the problem started.

That’s why we combine it with functional medicine.

At Stratford Acupuncture & Nutritional Wellness Center, we look deeper:

• Nutritional habits
• Lifestyle factors
• Underlying imbalances
• Lab testing when needed

This helps us build a plan that actually makes sense for your body.

What Happens During Your First Visit?

If you’ve never had acupuncture before, it’s normal to feel unsure.

Here’s how it usually goes:

1. Conversation First

We talk about your health history, symptoms, and goals. This part matters more than people expect.

2. Assessment

We may check pulse, tongue, and other indicators used in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

3. Treatment

Very fine, sterile acupuncture needles are placed gently. Most people feel little to no discomfort.

4. Relaxation Time

You rest for about 20–30 minutes. Many people feel deeply relaxed, some even fall asleep.

5. Next Steps

We talk about what to expect and how often you should come in.

Techniques We May Use Alongside Acupuncture

Your treatment may include more than just needles, depending on what you need.

Common Supporting Therapies:

What Does Acupuncture Feel Like?

Most people expect pain.

That’s not what happens.

You may feel:

• Warmth or slight pressure

Many people actually look forward to their sessions because of how relaxed they feel afterward.

How Many Sessions Will You Need?

This depends on your condition.

We’ll always be upfront about what to expect.
