Are acupuncture needles painful ?

Practitioners use single-use, sterile acupuncture needles, ensuring hygiene.

Acupuncture needles differ significantly from hypodermic needles.

They are ultra-thin, have a solid core, and are about the width of a few strands of hair. Their design allows them to glide through tissue without causing cuts, resulting in minimal discomfort during insertion. Some patients even find the experience so relaxing that they fall asleep with the needles in place.

How many treatments will be required ?

Determining the exact number of treatments depends on various factors and necessitates a thorough consultation and diagnostic assessment. As a general guideline, it's worth noting that recent health issues are typically more responsive to treatment compared to chronic, long-standing conditions.

Which conditions can Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture address ?

TCM and acupuncture don't target Western medical labels for conditions; instead, they focus on treating the unique needs of individual patients. For example, if three people with the same Western diagnosis like "migraine" visit our clinic, they might each receive distinct diagnoses and tailored treatments, all leading to successful recoveries.

TCM possesses a comprehensive diagnostic framework capable of addressing a wide range of health issues. However, like any medical system, it excels in some areas and may have limitations in others. For detailed information about how TCM can benefit your specific condition, we recommend reaching out to your practitioner for guidance.
