| What Happens On Your Visit To The ClinicDuring  a consultation, a full medical history will be taken in order for us to  identify the cause of any problems or imbalances. From there a selection of  points will be chosen. The acupuncture needles will be inserted at specific  points known as acupuncture points which sit on a network of energy channels,  known as meridians.  The choice of acupuncture points will be specific to each  patient’s needs. The treatment is typically painless, however at times, but  very rarely, there are elements of heaviness and soreness during the  treatment. The needles are either  withdrawn immediately of left in for 45 minutes, and generally there is a  feeling of relaxation and tranquillity following the treatment. Acupuncture RisksThe  treatments are safe, as long as the practitioner is well- trained and has  extensive knowledge, skills and experience in treating the patient’s needs. |
