Frequently Asked Questions

During an acupuncture session, you will lie down on a comfortable therapy bed whilst needles are inserted into specific points on your body. You may feel a slight prick or a sensation of warmth or heaviness. Some needles may be left in for 20 minutes but at other times they are removed immediately.

It is easiest to wear loose, comfortable clothing to your acupuncture appointment. Consuming a light meal before treatment is always a good idea.

Many insurance plans now cover acupuncture, but it is best to check with your provider to see if it is covered under your specific plan. The majority of insurers will only pay for treatment provided by a Member of the British Acupuncture Council like myself.
