First Acupuncture Visit

Your first acupuncture consultation may be longer than subsequent sessions, as the acupuncturist needs to assess your general state of health.

You will be asked about your current symptoms and treatment, your medical history and that of your close family, your diet, digestive system, sleeping patterns, emotional state and so on.  This enables the acupuncturist to build up an holistic picture of who you are from which your symptoms can be put into context in order to identify the underlying pattern of disharmony and give you the most effective treatment.

We aim to treat the root cause of the problem, rather than just the presenting symptom, or branch.
