How much acupuncture is needed?

Coming for traditional acupuncture is an opportunity to discuss your overall well-being as well as whatever specific concerns you have. On your first visit I ask about your current state of health and your medical history. I also ask about your diet, digestion, sleep and emotional state. I will take your pulse, look at your tongue and do a physical examination as appropriate; everything you say is confidential.

Typically, a course of acupuncture begins with 3-4 weekly sessions. We assess and review your progress together regularly. Issues which have been around for a long time generally require a longer course of acupuncture.

Often, I include massage, acupressure, trigger point acupuncture and stretches to reinforce the acupuncture's effects. Where it will be beneficial the Chinese therapy of warming points, or cupping is used, and, occasionally, the more modern practice of electro-acupuncture.

A course of acupuncture is frequently used to complement programmes of western medical treatment, as for example with fertility treatment such as IVF.
