Acupuncture, a traditional Chinese medical practice, involves the use of ultra-thin sterile needles. It’s a painless and highly calming experience. The core principles aim to boost Qi (the body’s vital energy), leading to increased blood flow, nerve activity, and the release of blood cells and biochemicals.
Our first appointments are extended to ensure we gather a detailed case and health history, conduct a thorough examination (if appropriate), make a diagnosis using both traditional Chinese medicine and modern medical insights. Your first session will also include a treatment, involving the use of fine sterile acupuncture needles, with the possible addition of other suitable techniques like cupping and gua sha.
