Consultations

Ana-Med Acupuncture provide one-to-one consultations including Chinese Medical diagnostic procedures such as looking at the tongue, feeling the pulse and asking about the general workings of your body and mind.

From the information gathered, treatment is then formulated using the most appropriate modality or modalities for the particular individual and the condition being addressed.

The number of treatments required can vary depending on the condition. Generally more chronic long-standing problems tend to take longer to respond but usually we see some changes happening within 3-4 treatments. Acupuncture can also be very effective in treating acute conditions often within very few treatments.

For the majority of fertility cases (often from a long-standing disharmony) it is ideal to see the client for three months in order to prepare the body before attempting to conceive.

Acupuncture is the main modality used at Ana-Med however other modalities that may be used include  acupressure, tuina (Chinese massage), ear micro-system, moxibustion, cupping, Chinese herbs, and where appropriate dietary and lifestyle guidance may also be offered.

Note: It is advisable not to be hungry, eat a big meal or drink coffee within an hour either side of treatment. If you are hungry have a small snack within that time. Also refrain from any intoxicants around treatments.
