FAQs

  • It is normal to feel a mild tingle or dull ache as the acupuncturist adjusts the needle - This sensation is known as deqi.

    If you do feel in any discomfort please inform your acupuncturist who will able to adjust or remove that particular needle.

    Acupuncture needles are so fine that many people don’t feel them being inserted.

    While the needles are in place, many people feel relaxed.

  • It is this theory which a traditional acupuncturist will use to understand your condition and to select the appropriate points.

    This theory uses the concept of qi.

    For example, when somebody is in pain, this is considered to be a blockage in flow of qi.

    A traditional acupuncturist will select points along the meridian that is affected in order to encourage the qi to flow more freely.

    The overall aim is to direct the flow of qi to trigger your body’s healing response and to restore physical, emotional and mental equilibrium. Treatment is designed to affect your whole being as well as your symptoms so, as the condition being treated improves, you may notice other health problems resolve and an increased feeling of wellbeing.

  • A lot of people seek acupuncture to help relieve specific conditions, especially pain conditions such as tension headaches, migraines, neck or back pain, osteoarthritis of the knee and temporomandibular joint pain.

    Clinical trials have shown that acupuncture does relieve these symptoms, at least in the short term. 

    For some painful conditions the benefits have been shown to last at least a year.

    Whatever your particular problem, because treatment is designed to affect your whole body and not just your symptoms, you may notice other niggling complaints also get better with a course of treatment. Indeed, some people choose acupuncture when they feel their bodily functions are out of balance, but they have no obvious diagnosis. Once tried, many people have regular or ‘top-up’ treatments because they find it so beneficial and relaxing.

    For some conditions, such as migraine, acupuncture can be given to prevent flare-ups from occurring.

    Another benefit of acupuncture is that it can be given alongside other therapies and/ or medication, in almost all circumstances.

  • As acupuncture involves the insertion of needles there will sometimes be a small bruise where the needle was inserted.

    Occasionally, people can feel dizzy or tired after a treatment, but this passes quickly.

    To help your acupuncturist ensure that there are no unwanted side effects, please let them know any medications that you are taking, such as anti-coagulants. Also let them know if feel hot or the room is stuffy, or you are hungry/thirsty.

  • A typical session will last for around 45 minutes. The needles will normally be in for 20 to 30 minutes. Although for some styles of practice and conditions the time could be short or longer. Your practitioner will be able to give more information about what to expect.

  • We generally recommend that people wear loose comfortable clothing. This will help you to be relaxed during the treatment and allows easier access to many of the acupuncture points.

  • You do not need to do anything special before having acupuncture. However, it is best not to be hungry or thirsty so please make sure you have had something before you go.
