Treatments

At the initial consultation the acupuncturist seeks to get an overall picture of the client, including lifestyle, diet, work, medical history and emotional wellbeing. A physical examination is carried out if appropriate and tongue and pulse diagnosis are also used. The first visit can take from 60-90 minutes and subsequent visits usually takes 45-60 minutes.

The World Health Organisation recognises the effectiveness of acupuncture in the treatment of many conditions such as:

• Pain - arthritis, injury, sciatica and other causes.
• Gastrointestinal problems - nausea, vomiting, excess weight, constipation, diarrhoea and other bowel disorders.
• Cardiovascular problems - hypertension, palpitations and high cholesterol levels.
