About Treatment

 

The First consultation and treatment lasts approximately 1¼ hours with subsequent treatments taking approximately 45 minutes. On average, I recommend a course of 4-6 weekly treatments, with a view to re-assessing your progress after this. Some patients prefer to maintain their health afterwards by visiting on a monthly basis.

 

During  Treatment


Initially I take a detailed medical history from you, and discuss your current symptoms, pain or emotional state and then will ask you what treatment you have received so far.

 

I will feel your pulses on both wrists, noting their quality, rhythm and strength and examine your tongue for its colour and type of coating, because both of these are key indicators of your general state of health.

 

Having gathered all this information I can then make a Chinese medicine diagnosis, based on your answers.

 

You are generally treated lying down. A number of points are selected, depending on your diagnosis, and these points are treated according to Traditional Chinese Acupuncture in order to move any blockages that are causing pain or swelling, rebalance your Yin and Yang energies, calm your emotions, thus allowing your body to heal itself without hinderance.

 

Other techniques may be used during your treatment, such as Moxa, Cupping, Auricular Therapy, Ear Seeds, Acupressure or Tuina Massage depending upon your condition. 

 

After Treatment

 

 

After treatment most people feel deeply relaxed and contented. Often their original problem is alleviated, and where the medical condition was one of pain, you may often experience a cessation or easing in that pain.
