Acupuncture

Traditional point-based practice · Trained practitioner care

Acupuncture is a traditional practice involving the insertion of very fine needles at selected points on the body. It must be carried out by a suitably qualified practitioner using sterile, single-use needles and appropriate hygiene procedures.

The approach

Traditional knowledge, individual care.

Every session should begin with a conversation and a clear explanation of the approach. Your comfort, informed consent and practitioner assessment guide the experience.

Begin with a consultation

Before treatment, discuss your goals, health history, current medicines, pregnancy status and any concerns about needles. The practitioner should explain the planned points, expected sensations and potential risks.

A measured, hygienic approach

Only sterile, single-use needles should be used. The practitioner should follow appropriate hygiene and sharps-disposal standards and should welcome questions throughout the session.

Individual suitability

Acupuncture is not appropriate for every person or every concern. Let your practitioner know about bleeding disorders, immune-system concerns, fainting with needles or other relevant medical factors.
