So what can you expect from your first visit to
The Acupuncture Works?

In order to diagnose the imbalances which are giving rise to your condition, your practitioner will need to take a detailed look at all aspects of your current and past health.  Since this can take some time, we like to allow up to two hours for your first session.

To help this process along, we will usually send
you out a detailed health questionnaire to fill out
and bring to your consultation. (You can download
a copy of the questionnaire here)

Your practitioner may also take your pulse at several positions on each wrist and may look at your tongue before coming to a diagnosis.

After explaining the diagnosis to you your practitioner will suggest a treatment plan and, with your agreement, will give you your first treatment.

In addition to acupuncture, your treatment may include moxibustion (the use of a smouldering herb to induce warmth in an acupuncture point), massage and lifestyle recommendations.
