TELEHEALTH

What is telehealth?

According to the American Telemedicine Association (ATA), telehealth (or telemedicine) is defined as technology-enabled health and care management that extends beyond capacity and access. In other words, it is healthcare that can be provided through technology that overcomes certain limitations, like the inability to receive care face-to-face, for example. While telehealth has been around for a long time, it has recently grown in popularity during the emergence of COVID-19. 

How can CULIA help?

You do not have to see us in-person to see the benefits of our treatment. We utilize the entirety of Traditional Japanese/Chinese Medicine, not just acupuncture.

  We can help with many conditions via telehealth. Because of the current state we are in due to COVID-19, you may be experiencing a spike in anxiety, stress, sleeplessness, and digestive issues -- these are all things we can help with. Plus, as seasonal effects, you may be experiencing allergy, cold and flu symptoms, which we can also help you curb. 

Here are some offerings that can be covered through telemedicine:

Our practitioners can treat you by providing:

• Hari Home therapy: advice and point prescriptions, using with Moxa, Magnet, press ball and so.
• Self- Acupressure, Meridian massage instruction
• Proper use of hot/cold packs to alleviate pain
• Stress management: Meditation and Shinkiko/ Medical Ki work
• Dietary advice
• Exercise suggestions: including Oki-yoga, Aikido, ergonomic support, postural advice, and much more.

If you are not sure if we can help your symptoms, please call us at 617-926-6986 or email us at info@culia.net.

How do you book a telehealth appointment?

You book a telehealth appointment through phone call just like normal.

What happens during a telehealth appointment?

For a telehealth appointment, you will need a computer or smartphone with camera capabilities and internet access. When your appointment is confirmed, you will be given a video chat link that will allow you to connect with your practitioner once it is time for your appointment. 

During your appointment, your practitioner will be ready to listen to your health concerns and possibly look at your area(s) of trouble, just like a normal in-person appointment. Once we have an idea of what is bothering you, we can provide you with our healing recommendations. 

Since we are not doing any touching or needling during this appointment, you can expect it to be shorter than a normal visit to our clinic. Typically, our telehealth appointments last between 25-35 minutes.

Pricing and Payment

We know this is a difficult time for a lot of people right now for a variety of reasons, including financially. We do not want you to have to choose between your budget and your health, so we are telehealth appointments at a discounted rate:

30 minutes: $63.00
Payment will be taken at the conclusion of your appointment.

Telehealth appointments are covered by most insurance companies; however, we recommend you confirm with your insurance provider that your plan covers virtual visits before booking.

Is telehealth safe?

Yes! Telehealth is designed to help patients who cannot see a medical care provider in-person for whatever reason. Patients can still receive high-caliber care from their practitioner that will help improve their health.
