Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about acupuncture and treatment

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. These points are believed to influence the flow of energy (qi) and promote healing. Modern acupuncture is grounded in both traditional principles and contemporary medical research.

Is acupuncture safe?

Yes, acupuncture is very safe when performed by a qualified practitioner. Robert uses sterile, single-use needles and maintains strict hygiene standards. Serious side effects are rare. Some people may experience minor bruising or temporary soreness, which typically resolves quickly.

Does acupuncture hurt?

Most people find acupuncture to be relatively painless. The needles are very thin—much thinner than medical syringes. You may feel a slight prick or tingling sensation when the needle is inserted, but this is usually minimal. Many patients find the experience deeply relaxing.

How long does a treatment session take?

A typical acupuncture session lasts 45-60 minutes, including time for assessment and consultation. Your first appointment may be longer to allow for a thorough health intake and discussion of your goals. Subsequent sessions typically follow a similar timeframe.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on your condition, how long you've had it, and how your body responds to treatment. Some people experience improvement within 2-3 sessions, while chronic conditions may require 6-12 sessions or more. Robert will discuss a treatment timeline during your initial consultation.

What should I expect at my first visit?

At your first visit, Robert will conduct a thorough health assessment, including questions about your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. He'll perform a physical examination and discuss your treatment goals. Then, he'll perform your first acupuncture treatment and explain what to expect going forward.

Can acupuncture help with my specific condition?

Acupuncture can address a wide range of conditions, from pain management to stress and wellness. To discuss whether acupuncture is suitable for your specific situation, we encourage you to contact Robert directly at +44 7898 616 897 or Info@rsacupuncture.co.uk. He can answer your questions and recommend the best approach for your needs.

Does insurance cover acupuncture?

Some private health insurance plans offer coverage for acupuncture. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to ask about your specific coverage. Robert can provide documentation of services for insurance reimbursement claims.
