Once the client’s medical history has been taken and they have answered questions about the nature of the medical complaint, I select 3-5 acupuncture points to insert the acupuncture needles painlessly, these remain in place for around 20 minutes or so.
The insertion of very fine, pre-sterilised, disposable needles at specific acupuncture points on the body to help restore health on a physical, psychological and emotional level.
During an acupuncture session, clients often describe a feeling of calm and relaxation…..and may even fall asleep but each person is different. During the insertion of needles, some people feel nothing, while others experience a small pinch and then a sensation of numbness, heaviness, cramping or tingling.
Acupuncture needles are solid and very fine, unlike needles used for vaccinations or to take blood, and therefore cause very little pain. At the end of a session needles are removed painlessly.
