Holistic healing through acupuncture
SERVICES
Welcome to Acupuncture with Jo
Acupuncture works by inserting very fine sterile needles into ‘points’ on the body in order to contact and work with the body’s natural energy (Qi) to heal and balance the body.
The practice of acupuncture has been developed over thousands of years and can aid a vast number of complaints, both physical and mental-emotional. Acupuncture can also lead to general feelings of improvements in health and well being.
Acupuncture carried out by qualified practitioners is very safe and side effects and complications are rare.
What will happen at the treatment session?
The 1st appointment will take around 1½ hrs to allow me to perform a full diagnosis (including questioning you about your complaint, as well as your general health and wellbeing) before carrying out a treatment.
Subsequent treatments will take about 45 mins in total. Needles are usually left in for up to 20 mins at a time.
What will it feel like and will it hurt?
The needles used in acupuncture are very thin and usually will not cause any pain. You are most likely to feel a dull ache, or a pulling sensation, and this is part of treatment – the needle connecting with Qi.
How many treatments will I need?
This will vary depending on your complaint – generally longer term problems take longer to treat than acute. However, I will be able to give you a good idea of how many treatments I would expect you to need before you start to feel a difference – and bear in mind that a great many people feel a difference from the 1st treatment!
