Why an Initial Consultation Is Essential

Before beginning any acupuncture treatment with Dr. Priscilla Kerr, a 30-minute Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) consultation is required. This consultation is the cornerstone of your care and allows us to:

• Review your complete health history

• Understand your current symptoms and concerns

• Identify imbalances in your body’s energy (qi)

• Develop a personalized, holistic treatment plan

In TCM, the body is viewed as an interconnected system. By exploring your lifestyle, sleep, digestion, emotional state, and more, we can identify and treat the root causes of your condition—not just the symptoms. The more information you share, the more precise and effective your treatment will be.

What to Expect at Your Consultation

Dr. Kerr takes the time to thoroughly understand your unique health profile. She draws on her background as a medical doctor (MD) from Brazil, along with her TCM and acupuncture expertise, to create a custom treatment strategy tailored specifically to you. After your session, she continues working behind the scenes—reviewing your case and preparing personalized recommendations based on your TCM diagnosis.

How Acupuncture Works

Acupuncture is a safe, evidence-informed therapy that uses ultra-fine, sterile needles inserted at precise points on the body to restore balance and promote healing.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM):
Health is seen as a result of the smooth flow of qi (vital energy) through the body’s meridians. When this flow is blocked or imbalanced, pain or illness can occur. Stimulating acupuncture points helps rebalance qi and activate your body’s natural healing mechanisms.

In Western medical terms:
Acupuncture points correspond to areas where nerves, connective tissue, and muscles can be stimulated. This can enhance circulation, relieve tension, trigger the release of natural painkillers (like endorphins), and reduce inflammation.

What to Expect During an Acupuncture Session

• Needle Insertion: Hair-thin needles are inserted with precision. Most patients feel minimal to no discomfort.

• Stimulation: Your practitioner may gently move the needles or apply mild electrical stimulation.

• Relaxation Time: You’ll rest comfortably for 15–30 minutes while the treatment takes effect.

• Aftercare: Many patients report feeling deeply relaxed, calm, or re-energized after treatment.

Conditions Commonly Treated

• Chronic or acute pain (back, neck, joints, headaches)

• Stress, anxiety, and fatigue

• Menstrual cramps and hormonal imbalance

• Digestive issues

• Sleep disturbances

• Allergies and respiratory conditions

• Fertility and reproductive support

Is Acupuncture Safe?

Yes. When performed by a trained and licensed professional using single-use, sterile needles, acupuncture is a very low-risk procedure. Minor bruising or soreness may occur. If you are pregnant or have a pacemaker, please let us know before treatment.
