Acupuncture

What is acupuncture and how is it done?

Dr. Dariush Saeedi editorial team0 comment

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique in which very thin, sterile needles are placed at specific points on the body to help relieve pain and support the body's balance.

What happens in a session?

At the first visit the doctor reviews your history and chooses treatment points for your main complaint. Needles usually stay in place for 20 to 30 minutes, and most people feel relaxed during that time.

Does it hurt?

Acupuncture needles are far thinner than injection needles. You may feel a brief, mild sensation as a needle goes in.

How many sessions are needed?

That depends on the condition and is decided after an examination. You can book a consultation for an assessment.
