Acupuncture is widely considered to be beneficial for a range of illnesses and symptoms, from clearly defined complaints such as headaches, vomiting, neck ache, and back and dental pain, through to more general feelings of ill health such as nausea or low energy. Acupuncture is often used in the treatment of a variety of conditions and in conjunction with western medicine. Increasingly women are choosing to have acupuncture to support them throughout pregnancy, labour and after giving birth.
WIn your first meeting, Quintus will ask you a range of questions to evaluate your health picture and to design a treatment plan specific to you. This first session is important for you and Quintus to establish a good working relationship.
During treatment you Quintus will use sterile needles that are used only for the session and discarded afterwards. When a needle is inserted you may feel the needle; the sensation is often like a tugging feeling or a dull ache, the needles can be left in for up to 20 minutes or sometimes inserted for only a few seconds.
This is your treatment and everything that happens in your session will be discussed with you.
