The acupuncturist will also feel your
pulses on both wrists to discover how
the energies are flowing in the body.
Looking at the structure, colour and
coating of the tongue also gives a
good guide to your physical health.


       

 Once all this information has been gathered a treatment strategy can be formulated.

Subsequent treatments last between 45 minutes 
 to one hour. Each treatment involves the 
 insertion of very fine, pre-steralised disopsable  needles into carefully selected points so as to
 rectify the imbalances diagnosed. The 
 acupuncturist gently inserts the needles just 
 beneath the skin's surface. The sensation varies
 from person to person. You may feel nothing at 
 all or perhaps a dull ache or a tingling sensation
 which only lasts for a few seconds. During 
 treatment patients often experience a pleasant
 feeling of calm and relaxation.
 
  

Every patient is different and acupuncture treatments are unique to each individual, usually at first, treatments are weekly and then spaced out when the symptoms have improved.
