Frequently asked questions
What shall I wear?
For your comfort, please wear loose-fitting clothing if possible, as it allows for easy access to acupuncture points located along the arms and legs. If treatment requires access to other areas, such as the back, a gown will be provided. I am dedicated to creating a warm, respectful environment and will ensure your comfort and modesty throughout your session
Does acupuncture hurt?
No, the needles used in acupuncture are incredibly fine, about the width of a hair strand. I use a gentle, precise technique, and most patients hardly feel the needle being inserted. Acupuncture is a calming, deeply relaxing experience that leaves many feeling refreshed and at ease.
Do I need to do anything before?
I reccomend eating a light snack before is advised. Please prepare any questions you may have and I will be happy to answer anything.
Is it safe?
Research indicates that acupuncture is among the safest treatment options available in the UK. Side effects are rare, with mild fatigue after a session being the most common. Occasionally, a tiny bruise may appear at an acupuncture point. For more information on acupuncture safety, please visit the British Acupuncture Council.
