Introduction The Treatment

Coming For Treatment

The initial treatment, lasting about one and a half hours, will provide the acupuncturist with an opportunity to determine the nature of the body’s disharmony by careful questioning and observation. Diagnosis will include the inspection of the tongue for its’ structure, colour and coating, and the pulses are felt for their quality and strength.

Subsequent treatments would normally be weekly, their frequency varying from person to person and the type of condition. The average is about six visits.
