Acupuncture in Faversham

---

An initial acupuncture consultation takes up  to  90 minutes, allowing time to take a detailed history, develop and deliver the first treatment. I will ask to see your tongue and take your pulses as these give me vital clues about your health. 

Once  the  needles  have  been  inserted,  they  are  usually  retained  for  20-30  minutes.  Most  people  find  acupuncture  a  restful  experience  and  I  aim  to  create  a  calm  environment  in  which  you  can  relax.

Where appropriate, additional techniques such as moxibustion (heat  therapy) ,  cupping,  gua  sha  or Tui  Na  (Chinese  medical  massage  techniques)  may be included in a treatment:

Follow up appointments will take up to one hour.

As the effects of Acupuncture are cumulative, with each treatment building on the last, it is advisable to commit to an agreed course of sessions in order to achieve maximum benefit.
