It is best to wear loose clothing that can be rolled up to gain easy access to common acupuncture points. After your first treatment, you will have a good idea of what areas need to be accessed and you can dress accordingly.

Your first acupuncture appointment includes a diagnostic assessment and preliminary treatment. We will implement a treatment plan which can include a combination of Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment strategies, herbal formulas and nutritional and lifestyle advice. Follow up appointments will continue with your treatment plan.

Acupuncture does not typically cause pain or discomfort. Most patients describe a slight, dull ache or a tingling sensation when the needle is inserted. This can be a sign that the acupuncture point is being activated and the treatment is therefore working.

Acupuncture is a holistic treatment that falls under the scope of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The practice involves stimulating points on the body by penetrating the skin with a fine needle to help stimulate healing and alleviate pain and other health conditions. While traditionally used to treat pain, acupuncture is increasingly being used to complement overall wellness and manage day-to-day issues like stress.
