Acupuncture
Acupuncture originates as an integral part of Traditional
Chinese Medicine. It is now the most well known and recognized
of these therapies.
- Acupuncture is generally painless. Most patients notice a sensation during the needling technique.
- Our clinic provides a safe and hygienic environment and is licensed by the local authority, observing all the necessary health precautions. Needles are single use, disposable and individually packaged in sterile packs.
- Depending on your condition, acupuncture may be used with other therapies such as acupressure (a traditional Chinese manipulation therapy, also called Tui Na ), localized heat, moxibustion, cupping, or nerve/muscle stimulation where a tiny electric current is passed through the needle to excite the nerves and muscles.
- In many cases an improvement will be noticed within 2-3 visits. However, the duration will depend on the problem, your age and other medical factors. Many treatments only require 5-10 sessions whereas some can require many more.
