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?
Many people are surprised by how gentle acupuncture can feel.
The needles used are extremely fine and treatments are carefully adapted to your comfort level. In many cases, only a small number of very gentle needles are used.
While you may occasionally notice a small sensation as a needle is inserted, most people find acupuncture deeply relaxing and much more comfortable than they expected.
What conditions may Acupuncture support?
Acupuncture is commonly used to support people experiencing chronic pain, muscle tension, fatigue, stress, nervous system overload and general wellbeing concerns.
Each treatment is tailored to the individual and their specific presentation on the day.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments varies depending on your individual situation, how long symptoms have been present, and your overall health and wellbeing.
Some people notice changes quite quickly, while longer-standing or more complex concerns may benefit from a series of treatments over time.
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 time to discuss your health history, current concerns and treatment goals.
A personalised treatment approach is then developed based on your individual needs, preferences and comfort level.
