Frequently Asked Questions
What should you expect if you visit us for MSA Testing?
Meridian Stress Assessment is easy and painless. Carrie will use a machine, pictured here, to measure the acupoints. A small brass probe will be pressed gently into the points and the brass grounding cylinder will be held in the client’s opposite hand. All points tested are on the hands and feet. The test itself will only last about 40 minutes. The rest of the appointment will be focused on correcting the imbalances through lifestyle changes and appropriate supplementation.
What does your first appointment entail?
Your first appointment with Restore Health will be focused on you. There will be many noninvasive assessments. Just to mention a few; zinc test, balance test, adrenal health, enzyme status and more. Every new client gets a heart sound recorder assessment, which reveals way more than heart status. Your appointment culminates with a whole body system analysis by the meridian stress assessment. From this data, diet and lifestyle changes will be encouraged to complement the whole food supplementation. This appointment will last 2-2.5 hours.
Who would benefit from this type of stress testing?
This test would benefit anyone interested in examining and improving your functional health states. This applies to those who are unwell and looking to improve their health as well as those who have no diagnosable illness but would like to optimize their current state of health and possibly prevent future negative health issues.
What is the cost, and will insurance cover any of it?
The cost for the initial exam and report is included in our new patient visit fee of $280 for a 2+ hours of assessment. Any follow-up testing which includes the same full work-up and report is $120 which will take about 1 hour. This does not include any nutritional products you are recommended to purchase. All payment is expected at the time of service. Most Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flex Spending Accounts (FSA) will cover the expenses of your appointment. Insurance will not cover this expense. (This test does not provide a medical diagnosis. If you suspect you may need medical intervention, you should consult your physician, who can provide a medical diagnosis and prescribe an appropriate treatment regimen.)
How many times will I have to be re-tested?
It is recommended that you return on a 1-3 months basis until balance has been fully restored to all of your energy meridians. How long this will take depends on how far out of balance you are at the time of the initial exam, your compliance with the nutritional regimen recommended for you, and what your personal functional health goals are.
I hear there is a probe, will it hurt?
