Before you receive treatment, the acupuncturist will take a case history in order to make a clear diagnosis of your condition; this may involve a Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as a Western diagnosis.

Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body in order to encourage the healing process of the body and alleviate pain.

A course of six to eight sessions is usually required for effective symptom relief. When such relief has been obtained, it often lasts for three to nine months when one or two further treatments will "top-up" the therapeutic benefit.

Acupuncture and Tui Na make up a complete system of medicine that treats specific conditions, but also addresses any underlying imbalance in the body which may have led to those conditions.

Your Acupuncture treatment may be combined with Tui Na.
