What to Expect During Treatment
For many patients, the first treatment session usually lasts for an hour and will start with taking a full case history. This covers a broad spectrum of your general health background, and moves on to the specifics of the presenting condition.
Following your examination, the Acupuncture treatment will begin. During the treatment, fine stainless steel needles will be inserted at specific points on the body. These are left for between 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the condition being treated. There is little pain aside from a slight pricking and no pain once the needles have been inserted. Patients market generally feel very relaxed and calm concluding a treatment.
Subsequent sessions usually last for 45 minutes.
