Natural Treatment for General Health Concerns & Illness Recovery
Traditional Chinese Medicine has been the main source of treatment for many conditions for thousands of years. Local village Acupuncturists were are trained to treat a wide range of health concerns. This is still the case today.
As with many holistic therapies receiving acupuncture is not simply taking a pill and carrying on as before. The holistic principles of Acupuncture recognise that all health and wellness is set up by underlying factors. By the time treatment is sought, organ systems, in particular the nervous system has been in a habitual mode of operating so may need retraining with lifestyle changes to support ongoing wellness as well as treatment of the presenting symptoms to make progress.
Initial treatments are 1 hour long. This enables me to get a full health history and sense of how each part of your body is working together. We then discuss a comprehensive plan that works for you, followed by full treatment to start things off.
Follow-up treatments are normally 45mins. Ideally treatment are spaced close together to begin as acupuncture has a cumulative effect. Then dependent on what we are working on after a few sessions we can start spacing treatments out and/or often drop down to a 30mins treatment to keep costs down.
Dependent on the condition and how long you have had symptoms, a course of acupuncture may be up to 4-8 weeks of weekly treatments to see results. Although patients often report feeling better within themselves much earlier.
Once symptoms are under control, future courses may be prescribed (often quarterly or monthly) to help maintain/mange where you are at. As well as supporting what you came in for, use of regular Acupuncture for relaxation can also become a really good tool in the prevention and/or management of symptoms against the effects of stress as part of your wellness regime.
