FAQ
Does it hurt?
The needles are ultra fine (the thickness of a hair) so you shouldn't experience any significant pain, if anything at all, just a slight pressure sensation, or some tingling where the needle connects to the Deqi. But if your at all worried please feel free to call and discuss your fears.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies from patient to patient, some people will need more treatments, especially if their condition has been present for some time. The ideal plan would be weekly for 4 weeks, then a top up treatment every few weeks/months, as required to keep your health at its best.
How will I feel after treatment?
This varies, but most feel, relaxed, calm with a sense of balance, on the day you may feel drowsy or sleepy, especially a few hours after treatment. The following days after treatment most patients report a renewed energy, improvement in symptoms and better sleep. You will receive a full aftercare leaflet to take home with you explaining what to expect and how to get the most out of your session.
Are there any side effects?
Acupuncture is very safe and any negative side effect are normally temporary, you may on rare occasions get a minor bruise at the needle point, or a temporary flare-up of your symptoms - this is a good sign that the treatment is working, as the body works to correct itself.
Feel free to call with any other questions or drop an email.
