What is involved in acupuncture treatment?
The first thing is to properly assess the client’s needs, their case history and any factors which might have caused their issue or affect treatment.
We then use a variety of techniques to treat the problem based on our extensive experience and the client’s preferences and requirements. Some of those techniques include:
- The therapist will conduct a full examination and assessment of the client’s condition.
- With the client lying-down, the therapist will then insert single-use, sterile needles into the appropriate acupuncture points.
- The client may feel a brief stinging or tingling sensation. Acupuncture is usually painless.
- The needles will stay in place for 5-30 minutes depending on the condition.
- Depending on the individual case, the client may require additional treatment sessions.
Donal has received a Diploma from the International Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
