Acupuncture

The art of acupuncture has been around for many years.

​

Acupuncture is a treatment method of inserting tiny, flexible needles in different points located at different areas on the body, which assists the body in regaining its natural balance. Acupuncture has been an integral treatment method for millions of people for a variety of ailments.

What to expect when coming for treatment?

​

1. When patients arrive at the clinic, they fill out New Patient Intake forms. Then, we go through the various sections together in order to better understand their condition.

​

2. The next step is the diagnosis stage, where I examine the patient's pulse and tongue, and palpate the acupuncture channels (found between the fingertips to the elbows and the toes to the knees) for a complete understanding of the nature of the problem that we want to address.

​

3. Acupuncture needles are tiny and flexible and are gently inserted into the superficial layers of the skin for about 25-40 minutes.

​

During the treatment, the patient may feel a gentle flow sensation in certain areas of their body, or some mild heat sensation. In addition, there may be a feeling of pain relief during the treatment.

 

What should I expect After the treatment?

​

After treatment, some people describe a sense of alertness/ wakefulness, or alternatively, a need to rest for a little while, there may also be a feeling of hunger. I advise my patients to eat something small before arriving for a treatment.

 

Frequency of treatments:

​

Typically, patients arrive at the clinic once or twice a week, depending on the severity of their condition which is assessed during the first session. In very severe and rare cases, it may be recommended to arrive every day until the severe symptoms are reduced.

​

It is important to know that the number of treatments varies from patient to patient depending on the nature of their illness, and the willingness of clients to change their lifestyle in order to treat the disease/ imbalance. Each person responds to treatment differently and therefore it is not always possible to foresee the amount of treatments that will be needed.
