Common Questions About Acupuncture

What does Acupuncture feel like?

Most people find acupuncture very gentle and relaxing. The needles used are extremely fine and many people feel very little sensation when they are inserted. During treatment, it’s common to feel deeply relaxed, and some people even fall asleep.

Is Acupuncture painful?

Acupuncture needles are much finer than the needles used for injections. While you may feel a small sensation as the needle is inserted, most people find the treatment comfortable and calming.

What conditions may Acupuncture support?

Acupuncture is commonly used to support people experiencing chronic pain, muscle tension, fatigue, stress and general wellbeing concerns. Each treatment is tailored to the individual and their specific health concerns.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments varies depending on the condition and how long it has been present. Some people notice changes quite quickly, while longer-standing issues may benefit from a series of treatments.

Do I need a referral to book Acupuncture?

No referral is required to book an acupuncture appointment. You can book directly using the online booking system.

What happens at the first Acupuncture appointment?

Your first appointment includes a discussion about your health history and the concerns you would like support with. A personalised treatment approach is then developed to suit your individual needs.
