Acupuncture

How it works: 

Acupuncture works by restoring balance to the body. By removing blockages to the flow of qi or energy around the body, acupuncture can rebalance all the organ systems of the body and the nervous system. Acupuncture can help you feel calm and relaxed and will help your body heal itself. Acupuncture works in conjunction with Chinese herbs. Acupuncture improves the flow of energy around the body whilst the herbal medicine improves the amount of energy.

How will it feel? 

Very fine stainless steel needles (single-use) are placed in key points around the body to stimulate the flow of qi. Most people don’t feel the needle going in, but report a dull tingling or pressure sensation around the needle which occurs when the qi is moving. The treatment should leave you feeling relaxed and energised.

What is involved in my treatment?

At AcuHerb in Wangaratta, our acupuncture consultations include a thorough clinical assessment of your whole body and an in depth analysis of all your symptoms.  We will then form a plan for treatment where we will explain how many sessions you require and how you can expect acupuncture to help you. 

Our sessions generally run for an hour and include acupuncture and where appropriate may also include massage, cupping, moxibustion or heat therapy and electroacupuncture.  If you have specific requests regarding the type of treatment you would like, please discuss this with your practitioner.
