Acupuncture treatment at Integrative Health Partners encompasses the full breadth of classical needling techniques adapted to your individual health presentation. While acupuncture therapy refers to the general practice, acupuncture treatment emphasizes the clinical protocol — the specific point selection strategy, needling technique, needle retention time, and adjunct therapies chosen for your condition on a given visit. Dr. Hendry's approach integrates multiple acupuncture traditions: Worsley Five Element theory, Traditional Chinese Medicine eight principles, Japanese meridian therapy, and Master Tung's acupuncture — selecting the framework that best serves each individual patient.
How Acupuncture Treatment Works
Each acupuncture treatment session begins with a brief reassessment of your current presentation — tongue, pulse, and symptom check — to confirm or adjust the treatment strategy from the prior visit. Dr. Hendry selects between 10 and 20 points based on your pattern of the day, inserts sterile single-use needles, and may add moxa, cupping, or infrared heat. You rest quietly for 25–35 minutes. Post-treatment assessment confirms therapeutic response before you leave.
