Common Q&A about Acupuncture
Our FAQ section is designed to address common questions you may have, from how our treatments work to what you can expect during and after your session.
Our team is always available to provide additional support if you need more personalised guidance, ensuring that you feel informed and confident every step of the way.
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical practice that involves inserting fine needles into specific points on the body to balance the flow of energy (or "qi"). It is used to treat various physical and mental health conditions.
Acupuncture is based on the concept of balancing the body's energy by stimulating specific points along pathways called meridians. Modern science suggests that acupuncture stimulates nerves, muscles, and connective tissues, which may increase blood flow and activate the body’s natural painkillers.
Most people find acupuncture painless or experience only a mild tingling sensation when the needles are inserted. The needles are very fine, much thinner than those used for injections, and discomfort is usually minimal.
Acupuncture is commonly used to treat pain (back, neck, arthritis), headaches and migraines, stress and anxiety, digestive issues, fertility concerns, and insomnia. It is also used for general wellness and relaxation.
The number of sessions depends on the condition being treated. Some people may see benefits after just one session, while others may require a series of treatments over several weeks or months to achieve the desired results.
When carried out by a properly trained and registered practitioner in the UK, acupuncture is generally considered safe. The needles used are sterile, single-use, and regulated to meet high safety standards, helping to minimise the risk of infection or injury.
During a session, the acupuncturist will take a medical history and may examine your body to determine the best points for needle insertion. The needles are left in place for about 20-30 minutes, during which you may feel relaxed or experience sensations like warmth or pressure.
