In-Office Safety Precautions

In-Office Safety Precautions

Based on recommendations from the DC Department of Health (DC DOH), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and the leading acupuncture councils, we are implementing the following protocols to protect you from COVID-19:

Masks

Requiring masks or face-coverings for all patients, visitors, and staff.

There is currently no vaccine to prevent the Coronavirus (COVID-19). The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. We encourage you to continue washing your hands with soap and water often, avoiding close contact with others, wearing a mask, and disinfecting high-touch objects and surfaces. Also, learn more about herbal formulas that can boost immunity.

Virtual Health Options

Telehealth sessions are available and conducted via HIPAA-compliant video service. A link will be emailed when you schedule your appointment.

Virtual telehealth is available and encouraged for the following:

• 45-minute, new-patient, pre-acupuncture consult
• 10-minute, returning-patient pre-acupuncture consult/check-in
• Herbal medicine consultation

We encourage you to book telehealth appointments the same-day or within a few days of your in-office acupuncture appointment.

If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms or you have been exposed to the virus, please reschedule your appointment immediately or schedule a telehealth virtual appointment.

Making Your Care Safe, Accessible, and Peaceful

Acupuncture and holistic health are vital as people are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, and exacerbated pain during these uncertain and trauma-causing times—ailments don’t quarantine. People still need care, perhaps now more than ever, and Transformational Acupuncture will go to all lengths to make acupuncture and Chinese medicine safe, accessible, and peaceful.
