Your first appointment will usually take around 90 minutes.  Subsequent appointments are for 45 minutes.  As part of your consultation I will discuss with you how many treatments I think you will need.  Weekly treatments are usual to begin with reducing in frequency as your body responds. 

 

At your first appointment I will usually take a full medical history.  I need to diagnose your condition from a Chinese medical perspective so will be asking you questions to produce a treatment plan based on your state of health and lifestyle.  

​

Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine also involves feeling your wrist pulses and looking at your tongue.  

​

I will decide on which combination of acupuncture points is right for your whole body as well as your specific symptoms. The points I use may change from treatment to treatment as your condition improves.
