A step by step explanation of what will happen at your first acupuncture consultation. By understanding why your practitioner is taking a full medical history you’ll benefit more from your first acupuncture treatment and your practitioner will be able to give diet and lifestyle advice specific to your needs.

We answer two important questions: what conditions is acupuncture good for? And what can’t it treat?

We explore the nature of different conditions and discuss the difference between acute and chronic, and at what point you should consider acupuncture.

Because acupuncture gives your natural healing systems a boost, it speeds up recovery time (for example in wound healing).

Not only does it help the body heal faster – acupuncture also provides stress relief, improves sleep, regulates elimination patterns and improves general health.
