How Telehealth Supports Your Health B efore COVID-19 caused so many places to lock down, our clinic had started to implement telehealth. However, it wasn’t until after COVID-19 hit that we realized just how powerful this service was for our clients. “Because of the lockdown, I was forced to learn a lot more about how to conduct telehealth consultations and how beneficial they are for patients,” Dr. Gina Terinoni says.
“It always seems impossible until it is done.” –NelsonMandela

Typically, when someone comes into our office for a consultation to get acupuncture treatment, they’re mainly focused on the treatment itself. However, it’s important to understand that acupuncture is just one tool of Chinese medicine. There are so many other ways we can help patients, including addressing their diet, explaining acupressure points, and helping them understand different devices they can use to boost their health. Telehealth gives us the opportunity to not only learn how to help people on a deeper level but also ensure they get the most out of their treatments. “What I’ve found, through the training of discovery and patient intakes, history, and inquiry, is there is so much more time to sit and talk on a call,” Dr. Terinoni explains. “Which is very eye-opening. In some ways, my telehealth patients are getting way more care than I could ever give them in the treatment room, especially with the pandemic when they can only be with me for about 10 minutes.” Telehealth allows us to educate our patients much more about the process and discuss the other tools that, when paired with acupuncture, increase its benefits. We do a deep dive into diet, therapeutics, breathing exercises, meditations, and the benefits of using different herbs. To talk with Dr. Terinoni about any health concerns you may have, and to schedule a telehealth consultation, call Dova Center for Health & Healing at 303.955.7226.
