At the first appointment, we will discuss your treatment plan and what might work for you. It is worth bearing in mind that in order to get the most benefit from acupuncture, it is best to allow for a series of treatments at first, the results can be surprising and patients often report other unexpected benefits such as a better nights sleep or improved appetite as well as improvements in their main complaint. Throughout the treatments we will discuss your progress and ensure that you are getting benefit from the treatment, if I feel acupuncture is not the right treatment for you or we are not progressing as expected, I will not prolong the treatment unnecessarily.

Some health insurance plans cover the costs of treatment. I am registered with Vitality https://www.vitality.co.uk
