Usually the first visit is the longest in order to allow for a complete history taking and exam – typically one and one-half hours. Follow-up visits are shorter, usually 30 to 45 minutes, depending on patient needs. Sometimes other therapies, such as moxibustion, acupressure/massage and exercises are incorporated with the acupuncture treatment.
