Our needles are roughly the width of two human hairs — around forty of them fit inside the hollow of a standard injection needle. Most people feel a brief tap, then a dull, spreading heaviness that fades within seconds. If a point stays sharp, tell us and we move it.

For a recent problem, often three to five. For something you have carried for years, we usually plan six to eight weekly sessions and review honestly at session four. If you are not noticing change by then, we say so and suggest another route.

Never. Every needle is single-use, pre-sterilised and disposed of in a clinical sharps container in front of you. All practitioners hold current clean-needle certification.

In almost all cases, yes — acupuncture sits alongside conventional treatment rather than replacing it. Bring a list of what you take. If you are on blood thinners or have a pacemaker, tell us at booking so we adjust technique.

Usually relaxed and a little heavy-limbed for an hour or two. A small number of people feel briefly tired that evening and notably better the next morning. We ask you to skip hard training and alcohol for the rest of the day.

Yes. Herbal-only consultations run for forty-five minutes and include a follow-up review after two weeks, though most patients find the two work considerably better together.
