Point To Acupuncture

FAQ's

? Does it hurt?
The needles are very fine and very sharp. They are inserted very quickly into the skin. You may feel strange sensations such as tingling or a dull ache either around the point or along the channels connected to it. This is not painful and many people like the feeling.

? How many sessions will I need?
Frequency and length or treatment depends on your individual condition. Some change is usually felt after 4-6 treatments, although occasionally only 1 or 2 treatments are necessary. Some patients may need long term treatment. I will normally ask to see you once a week at first.
? How much does it cost?
Each treatment costs £30. You may be able to be reimbursed for treatments via your health insurance (except BUPA).

? Is it safe?
Acupuncture has a very sound track record. The needles used are single-use, sterile and disposable. Responses to treatment can sometimes include tiredness or mild dizziness and occasionally minor bruising. All such reactions are short-lived.

? Should my doctor know?
If you have prescribed medication it makes sense to tell your doctor that you are having acupuncture. You should inform me of any medication you are taking as this may effect your response to acupuncture treatment.
