Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a branch of Chinese Medicine dating back over 2,000 years.  It is a non-invasive form of treatment in which fine needles are inserted into points on channels that the bodies energy, or QI, flow through.  By doing this, the acupuncturist is able to affect the QI and harmonise the body, encouraging the body to heal itself.

Acupuncture may alleviate a wide range of physical, emotional and mental disorders and your acupunturist will be happy to discuss your individual needs.

        What will happen during treatment?

During the first treatment an in-depth assessment of your symptoms, current state of health and medical history will be carried out, alongisde observation of your pulse and tongue, and a physical examination will be carried out if needed.  This is used to create a holistic view of you and your body in order to establish a Chinese Medicine diagnosis.  This will be followed by your first treatment.

Follow-up appointments will begin with a brief review of how your symptoms have progressed since the last treatment and observation of your pulse and tongue.  The rest of your appointment will be taken up by treatment.

Acupuncture treatment consists of inserting fine needles into acupuncture points that are usually located on the lower legs or arms, although some treatments require needles to be inserted into the torso.   Practitioners' techniques do differ and Jacqueline often inserts needles in the back, scalp and abdomen as well as the arms and legs.  Needles are left in place for 15-20 minutes and most people feel deeply relaxed during this time.  Other techniques such as cupping, moxibustion, or massage may be used depending on your condition.
