What would I expect during the treatment?

​

During the treatment you would be expecting to feel needle sensations as very fine needles are inserted into acupressure (energy) points along the meridians (energy pathway or channels) of the body. The needles sensation can vary for each individual, it may be a dull ache, heavy throbbing sensation or a tingling sensation. Different points can feel different.

Make sure you have had something to eat at least 20-30min before the treatment and is not too hungry, too tired to prevent needle fainting. If you experience nausea, sweating and chills during the treatment you should tell your practitioner immediately. 

​

​

What would I expect after the treatment?

​

After the treatment, you may expect a gradual improvement. Some people may also feel aggravation of the symptoms before an improvement. When the needles are withdrawn, there may be minor bleeding which may leave a bruise. Let Amy know if you are only blood thinners. 

​

​

How frequent should my treatment be?

​

This depends on each person and each condition. The treatment can be as frequent as 2-3 times a week on alternative days or everyday depending on your condition.
