You will be asked about your current symptoms and what treatment you have received so far, medical history and that of your close family, diet, digestive system, sleeping patterns and emotional state.
To discover how the energies are flowing in your body, the acupuncturist is likely to feel your pulses on both wrists, noting their quality rhythm and strength. A close inspection of the tongue also gives a good guide to your physical health.
Once enough information has been gathered to determine the likely causes of your problems the most appropriate treatment is selected. The aim is to discover which energy channels need adjusting for your specific complaint and which require treatment to boost your overall energy and vitality. Stimulation of specific areas affects certain organ systems of the body. These areas may not be close to the part of the body where the problem is, for example, if you suffer from headaches the needles may be inserted into your hand or foot.
This initial consultation lasts up to an hour. All future appointments are between 30 and 45 minutes dependant on the nature of the complaint.
