Full Body Acupuncture

The word Acupuncture comes from the Latin words ‘acus’ -needle and ‘pungere’-to prick. Acupuncture is an ancient alternative medicine that treats patients by the insertion and manipulation if needles in the body. Different variations of acupuncture are practiced and taught throughout the world. However, acupuncture typically incorporates traditional Chinese medicine as an integral part of its practice and theory. Acupuncture is based on the theory of ‘qi’ or energy in the body. The body can manifest wellbeing problems and disease states when the qi is out of balance. The body has 12 pathways, channels or meridians in which the qi flows. A complex map of the meridians exists along which there are specific point locations which have various functions and relate to the Chinese organ system.
Acupuncture is able to access this qi at these acupuncture points located on these meridians. By needling acupuncture points, the practitioner aims to create harmony in the body and to essentially balance the qi using the diagnosis made in your consultation. At your initial consultation you will be given a treatment plan which will include an approximate idea of the length of time for which you will require treatment in addition to the regularity of sessions. It is recommended that you follow the treatment plan wherever possible in order to optimise the success of your sessions. You will be given supporting dietary and lifestyle advice to further enhance you treatments.
Examination of the tongue and pulse are among the principal diagnostic methods in traditional Chinese medicine and will be observed at each of your treatment sessions. The surface of the tongue can provide information on the body and is used to determine acupuncture points. The pulse is taken from both the left and right wrist and can give an indication of imbalances in specific organ systems in addition to vital general information about the health of the patient consequently guiding the practitioner to choosing relevant acupuncture points. The acupuncture points can be in different areas of the body and are sometimes/often chosen on areas away from the site where the symptom lies. There maybe occasions when electro-stimulation used with agreement from the patient. Electro-stimulation can be particularly useful for pain related conditions, losing weight etc.
You may be asked to either lie on your back or on your stomach and the needles will be placed accordingly. The selection of the points along with the suitability of treatment for the patient will determine whether you will receive acupuncture lying face up or face down. The length of duration for needling and the types of needles used will also vary, as will the way in which the needles are manipulated and removed; usually dependant on the diagnosis made
by the practitioner. The practitioner will want to ensure that you are comfortable throughout your treatment.
Treatment time: 1st treatment upto 1 hr 30 mins, follow-ups 1hr approx
