What should I expect?
We start with a consultation to review their medical history, evaluate current health needs, and discuss their goals. During this session, your practitioner will look to identify the cause of any problems or imbalances, determine the most appropriate treatment and answer any questions a have.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture needles are so fine, they are typically painless and patients often report a great sense of relaxation during and after the treatment. Some patients report feeling slight pressure as the needle penetrates the skin but that sensation usually fades within a few minutes.
Does it really work?
The World Health Organization (WHO) currently recommends acupuncture for over 100 conditions. Long before its recognition in Western medicine, acupuncture has been practised for thousands of years to treat many conditions throughout the body. We also see the results in the transformations of our own patients.
Treatment time and results vary from patient to patient but we work closely with you to ensure you are moving forward on your health journey.
How do I prepare for a treatment?
On a first-time visit and consultation, clients should be prepared to share their medical history, which can include bringing any relevant medical results including blood test results and scans. The more information you provide, the more we can help.
For general acupuncture visits, to get the full benefits of this therapy try to relax and unplug from the outside world.
