FREQUENTLY  ASKED  QUESTIONS

ACUPUNCTURE  &  ACUPRESSURE

​

1. Does acupuncture hurt ?

           When done properly traditional acupuncture should not hurt. One will feel a fine needle ( as thin as your hair) go into your body - but it should be awareness of something in your body - not hurt.

When the needles are stimulated during the course of treatment, one must experience a quick sharp feeling which can be like a mild electric shock . The sensation around the point may feel stimulated & sometimes you may have sensations along the corresponding meridian. You may get a feeling of calm & feeling of relaxation during the treatment.

​

2. Is acupuncture effective ?

           In the hands of a master acupuncturist, acupuncture can provide fantastic results with ease & least discomfort. I have witnessed cases of sports injuries heal within days, chronic conditions like migraine, Blood pressure, asthama, sciatica ,etc respond quite well indeed. Acupuncture does consist of treatment provided by acupuncturist & some home work to optimise the body functioning towards better health. This can be an integral part of treatment & requires complete cooperation (full compliance) from patient for best results.
