Question 2

What does an acupuncture treatment involve?

Accepted Answer

This includes taking a detailed medical history plus an initial treatment.  The treatment can include acupuncture, electro acupuncture, massage, moxa or cupping depending what treatment I think will be best for your condition.

Question 3

How can I prepare myself for treatment?

Accepted Answer

I would advise, if at all possible, for you to wear loose fitting clothes for your sessions.  If this isn’t possible I will provide you with towels to cover you up if you need to remove any clothing.  It is also not recommended to eat a large meal before your treatment, or to drink alcohol or caffeinated drinks, as they may interfere with your ability to be able to relax during the treatment.

Question 4

How will I feel after my treatment?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes you can feel tired or a bit light headed.  Most people feel very relaxed. Some patients fall asleep during treatment. I suggest that you take it easy on the day of treatment and drink plenty of water.
​
Some people after having treatment have what is known as a healing crisis. Their symptoms get worse before they get better. This is quite normal and there is no need to feel afraid.  Just take it easy. If you have any questions/concerns after a treatment please send me a text or an email and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Question 5

How many treatments will I need?

Accepted Answer

On your first consultation a treatment plan will be discussed.  Normally a series of six treatments are recommended initially and then a review will take place to decide whether further treatment is necessary.  If you are suffering from a chronic condition then it may take longer to treat.
