Acupuncture

Obviously I can’t make promises, but acupuncture has a good tract records spanning many thousands of years. It is drug free, no side effects and a safe system of healing. At the very worst, it might not work for you and at the best, you will experience freedom from pain and other symptoms.

Great care is made to ensure your comfort and well being. A short case history involving a few medical and symptom questions will be asked. You will be taken to a quiet, private treatment room – where you will lie down on a massage table or a reclining chair. I will again asses the area of concern for a short time and then I will insert 5 to 12 small, sterile needles. (just about the same thickness as one strand of your hair). You will not even feel most of them.

You will rest for about 20 minutes. Most people just fall asleep. After the needles have been removed you should feel better and more relaxed, sometimes it takes a little longer to have an effect. Please be patient, not every body responds at the same speed.

I sometimes use other methods for people who are just too uncomfortable with needles until they are ready and feel they can trust me. I use a laser, or tuning forks, or a peizo point stimulator or moxa which doesn’t employ any needles. For you, this might just solve the problem. So let me know during a consultation of your concerns and I will find a way to work around them.

Most extended health care insurance plans will reimburse you for the treatments that you receive from me. It will depend on your plan and your entitlement through that plan. Please check with your insurance provider.
