Services at Lincoln Square Acupuncture
Lincoln Square Acupuncture is a calm and welcoming place where you can receive treatment for and prevention of a variety of medical conditions through the ancient practices of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Your treatment begins with an intake session conducted in the lounge, where there is quiet music playing and a white-noise generator. Everyone talks in lowered voices so there is little loss of privacy, though if this is a concern we may conduct the intake in a private office. The purpose of the intake is to learn about your health history and current symptoms so that we can recommend a course of treatment that may combine acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicines, moxibustion, cupping, scraping, electrical point stimulation, massage or use ofÊherbal elixirs. Treatments are tailored for your specific combinations of symptoms and health concerns.
