What to Expect During Your Visit

When you step into Sustaining Life Wellness Center, you are welcomed into a serene, nurturing space where your healing journey begins. For over 26 years, we’ve supported our community with holistic, patient-centered care rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and enhanced by modern wellness technology.

We understand that seeking care can feel overwhelming—whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning after some time away. That’s why we are dedicated to making your experience simple, informative, and empowering.

Your First Visit: Step-by-Step

1. Warm Welcome & Check-In

Upon arrival, our friendly staff will greet you and ensure you feel comfortable. We’ll assist you with any necessary intake forms. (Soon, you’ll also be able to complete these online in advance through our new patient portal software.)

2. In-Depth Consultation

Your practitioner will take the time to understand your unique health concerns, lifestyle, and goals. We believe that every story matters, and we are here to listen deeply.

3. AcuGraph Diagnostic Assessment

As part of our commitment to precision care, we use AcuGraph technology to perform a non-invasive energy scan of your meridians. This advanced tool gives us insight into your body’s energy flow (Qi), helping us develop the most effective treatment plan tailored to your needs.

4. Personalized Treatment Plan

Together, we will create a custom treatment approach based on your AcuGraph results and personal health goals. Your plan may include:

  • Acupuncture (including Electroacupuncture for enhanced results)

  • Cupping Therapy

  • Herbal Medicine Consultations

  • Wellness Coaching

  • Sports Recovery Support

We will walk you through each treatment option, explaining how it works and answering any questions you may have.

5. First Treatment Session (If Time Allows)

When appropriate, your initial visit may also include your first treatment session, allowing you to experience the restorative power of acupuncture and other therapies firsthand.

6. Aftercare & Next Steps

Before you leave, we will provide guidance on what to expect after your treatment and how to support your body’s healing process at home. You’ll also receive recommendations for follow-up appointments to continue your journey toward balance and wellness.

Comfort & Safety First

We understand that trying something new can bring questions or concerns—especially if you’re new to acupuncture or holistic treatments. Rest assured, our practitioners use sterile, single-use needles and follow the highest standards of safety and hygiene. Your comfort is our top priority.

Streamlined Scheduling & Patient Portal (Coming Soon!)

We’re excited to soon introduce our new patient portal software, which will make managing your wellness journey even easier:

  • Online Appointment Scheduling

  • Access to Your Treatment History

  • Secure Messaging with Our Team

Stay tuned for more updates on how this system will enhance your SLWC experience.
