What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is the practise of utilising needles in the stimulation of distinct points on your body that communicate about different areas that need care and attention. The distinct points are determined based on your specific condition, constitution, and desired health goals. Healing and function are optimised by focusing attention on and delivering your body’s own resources to those distinct points that need care and attention.

Is Acupuncture Safe?

Your safety is of paramount importance to us. Our acupuncturist is a medically registered professional so she abides by strict rules and guidelines and follow a professional code of conduct. All the needles that we use are of the highest quality, sterile, and disposed immediately after a single utilisation.

Does Acupuncture Hurt?

Insertions are usually not even felt as the needles used for acupuncture are very fine. Their sizes can be compared to four or five of them fitting into the diameter of a single hypodermic needle used for injections or blood transfusions. There is a possibility that you will feel a sensation of warmth and/or tingling on some points or even other parts of your body but these are indications that the needles are doing their job properly.

As always, your treatment is about you. Our expert acupuncturist will ensure that you are feeling comfortable and can change the sensations you feel if needed and as per your request.

How Long Does Acupuncture Take To Work?

There is an immediate positive effect on your body right after and even during the treatment itself. A vast majority of people observe changes right away with greater feelings of relaxation as their bodies begin to respond to the treatment. Others have taken more time to notice more subtle changes.

How Many Treatments Will You Need? 

We can discuss the appropriate course of treatment based on your specific condition. Depending on your case, you may require more frequent treatments to correct any injuries or imbalances within your body’s systems. Continuous treatments can be done until your body has recovered or returned to its natural equilibrium. The focus of treatment then can be establishing a health maintenance to keep your body and mind in track.

We at Grow Therapies are passionate about helping you achieve your health goals and thus establish a costing system that will allow you to make multiple weekly treatments possible, if that is what your body needs.
