Acupuncture Armadale
I had been going to the GP for over 12 months, and I was still in pain. He told me there was nothing he could do. I decided to give acupuncture a try for my back. I had stopped work because of the pain and was desperate. It's like magic. After 6 weeks I'm pain free and back at work again." Tika

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do the needles stay in?
The needles stay in for about 20 minutes.
Are the needles sterilised?
The needles come in sealed packets. They are sterile and are only used once then disposed of in a medical "sharps" container.
Will I bleed?
Not usually, although sometimes there may be a little drop as the needle is removed which is picked up with with a cotton tip - not a bandage.;-) Most people don't lose even a drop of blood.
Often you won't even know the needle has gone in. It is inside a little tube, and Paul will tap gently on the tip of the needle. Sometimes you might feel a slight sensation. I think it feels like being nipped by those tiny little ants that are always at picnics, or a maybe a bit like a mozzie bite.
How long will it take to work?
Acupuncture can be very effective for pain relief and works quite quickly. Sometimes you can have less pain straight away, sometimes it may take a few sessions to begin to get pain releif. We would expect you to have gained some benefit after three treatments.
If you have any further questions please give us a call and we'll be happy to answer them.
