What is treatment like?

Extremely fine, hair-like, flexible needles are placed at specific points on the energetic pathways, which lead to the organs, muscles and nerves of the body. When the acupoints are stimulated you may experience a sensation of tingling or warmth – some people feel no sensation at all. As necessary, other modalities such as cuppoing, moxibustion, and Tui Na massage may be used during treatment. Patients are often surprised to find that treatments are actually quite relaxing and some patients actually fall asleep during treatment!
