What to expect during acupuncture treatment

Our clinic environment is designed so you can relax, absorb, and get the most out of your acupuncture treatments. For new patients, after being welcomed on arrival, we’ll discuss your specific situation and health goals in one of the comfortable treatment rooms.

Together we’ll explore your health history, lifestyle, diet and exercise to understand the part they play in your current health. I’ll use various diagnostic techniques including taking your pulse and examining your lower legs and arms. All this will be done with your comfort and modesty in mind, and is usually carried out without having to remove clothing.

All the information you share will be considered in order to arrive at a diagnosis. We’ll discuss a treatment aim for the session and, if required, agree a longer term plan that fits with your health goals. Ultra fine needles will be inserted in the chosen acupuncture points and left in place for approximately 20 minutes. One of the complimentary therapies below may be included in the treatment to enhance the therapeutic affects (at no extra cost).
