It is completely up to you the patient you may decide you would like a few treatments during the build up to a special occasion or you may want to embark on regular treatments throughout the year, it’s up to you.

Does it hurt? The needles that are used for Acupuncture are very fine disposable needles. There is very little sensation when needled with them and only a mild stinging sensation may be experienced on some occasions, in fact the whole experience of a treatment can be very relaxing in itself.
