What to expect
At your initial consultation we review your current condition, dietary patterns, along with your medical history and lifestyle. Your radial pulse is taken along with an observation of your tongue. These are essential diagnostic tools in Chinese Medicine. With this information we establish a Chinese Medicine diagnosis.
Your acupuncture practitioner will then select points helping bring your mind and body back into harmony. The acupuncture needles are usually retained for 20 minutes after insertion, however they may be left in for a shorter or longer period of time depending on your condition.
Your treatment may also include other therapies such as moxibustion, cupping, gua-sha, massage or prescribed herbal pills. These therapies complement and enhance your Acupuncture treatment.
If you have any medical records, x-rays, scans or blood test results please bring them to your consultation.
Allow around 60 – 90 minutes for your initial consultation. Subsequent consultations as part of a course or series of treatments will take between 60 – 75 minutes. In these consultations we assess the changes which have occurred since your list visit.
