Consultation and Treatment
An initial consultation lasting about two hours will take place at your first appointment, and the practitioner will take a full medical history.

Any physical problems you have will be discussed, as well as any emotional stresses you are having or have experienced, as these can have a great impact on your physical health. The consultation also includes a physical examination.

Forming a good relationship with your practitioner is an important factor in the success of your treatment. Once a picture of who you are and what is troubling you has been established, appropriate treatments aimed at your individual needs will be selected.

The first treatment lasts from an hour to an hour and a half, and each subsequent treatment takes friom forty five minutes to an hour.

Each patient responds differently to treatment, and long standing problems may take longer to heal than recent ones. You will need, on average, four to six treatments before you can expect a noticeable improvement in your condition. Some people may take more than six treatments before they start to get better but for others it occurs from the first treatment onwards.

Treatment conforms to the British Acupuncture Council's Codes of Ethics and Safe Practice. Strict confidentialty and hygiene rules are enforced and only disposable single-use needles are used.
