SERVICES DURING COVID-19

HOW I CAN SUPPORT YOUR DURING THIS EPIDEMIC:

1.  If you are comfortable coming into the office for an acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping or herbal consultation and treatment in the weeks to months ahead I will be there to support you.   Below I detail out the steps the offices will continue taking.

However, we all will have various comfort levels and concerns with going out currently.  If you would rather stay home I understand and have two other options for you.

2.  Tele-medicine for acupressure/qi gong (movement and breathing) is available.  I am happy to log on and have a Zoom meeting or phone chat (would be tricky but we can do it!).  Also I can  send anyone acupressure press tacs in the mail (small acupuncture needles that you comfortably wear for 1-7 days) and then we can teleconference once have them to coach you where to apply these and how to use them. They act as acupuncture points you wear at home safely.  The fees would be reasonable in relation to my time working in the office and we would confirm them before moving forward.

3.  Herbal consults in tele-medicine. This can be for antiviral herbs for immunity or about ANY health concern with herbal medicine since Chinese medical history is deeply herbal in its approach. Herbs are always available for online payment access and delivery or possibly pick up (depending what I have in stock). I have access to stock laypeople do not via amazon if you have been getting herbs online and need refills as well.

For these TELE-MEDICINE services, please TEXT me (317-345-3233) or CALL  me  (312-528-9338) in order to ask for it and for us to schedule you.  

If you would like to get on the schedule for live care, or if you are are on it, clients will continue to be contacted before your visit the day prior  to ask if there are any symptoms – especially fever or cough. Unusual, unexpected digestive upset is also being considered a symptom now of COVID-19.  Please keep a thermometer handy to know what your temperature is if you do not feel well.

We are in constant contact with the ILDPH (Illinois Dept of Public Health) and are strictly adhering to both the CDC (Center for disease control) and their guidelines regarding sanitation and social distancing within the clinic.

A reminder have fortified our facility with rigorous cleaning protocols and have a limited number of patients in the office and waiting rooms at one time to adhere to both the WHO (World health organization), federal recommendations, and recommendations of the CDC.

If you or anyone you have been in contact with is showing any signs or symptoms of the COVID-19 then please follow all necessary precautions nationally advised and immediately seek medical help.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

The initial visit consists of a comprehensive health history intake and evaluation followed by acupuncture. A course of acupuncture is typically 4-12 sessions, once or twice a week depending on severity and the condition being treated. Benefits are often felt immediately after the first treatment. Treatment is continued until the symptoms begin to go away for longer periods of time.  Then treatment is spread out until you no longer need to come back. This is the typical timetable for natural healing and which demonstrates how acupuncture helps the body to heal itself, not simply cover up symptoms.

TREATMENT OPTIONS:

Eastern Integrative Health provides flexible treatment options for my clients’ needs.  This enables my clients to experience the full benefits of acupuncture and Chinese medicine throughout the entire process of healing.  This is best done by pursuing a course of treatment, several treatments within a decided period of time, and then progressing to maintenance or no treatment as needed.

Initial treatments are 60 min and follow-ups are 60 minutes.   A complete health history is completed online and a follow up review of organ/channel systems is done in person.  Our clinic is dedicated to providing clients with the best pathway forward, which may mean referring to other modalities if it seems the best fit.

As a courtesy to my clients, my assistant will call your insurance if you provide me with your information.  After finding out if you have acupuncture benefits, I will communicate that information. If you are covered I will file electronically for you.  You will then receive a reimbursement check sent directly to you from your insurance company (subject to deductibles and their conditions of coverage).  I am a Time of Service provider who requests all payments be made after service.
