Frequently Asked Questions

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture was developed by the Chinese thousands of years ago, and uses very fine needles put into specific places to help with particular problems. Paul uses more expensive needles because they are finer and have a teflon coating to help them glide in and out easily. (There is no extra charge for needles.)

Will it hurt?

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.

What can it help with?

Acupuncture can help with a wide variety of health challenges, pain releif being one of them. It can help regulate hormones, make menstrual cycles more regular and return to the normal pattern of 28 - 31 days, increase the success rate for IVF, reduce stress and anxiety, depression, quitting smoking, sugar craving for dieters and increasing energy just to name a few.

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.
