Acupuncture aims to discover the root cause for illness and the first consultation reflects this. The initial consultation will take between 1.5-2 hours (depending on your symptoms). The reason for the first session taking this long is to allow Mark to question you on different aspects of your health. Questions will cover your condition or main complaint, bodily functions, medical history and lifestyle. Mark will examine your pulse and tongue and perform a physical examination if necessary. This information is used to build up a holistic picture of you, that is how the different parts of your body and mind are working together.
Acupuncture, cupping and moxa are then used to bring harmony to mind and body and treat illness or pain at its root cause following a diagnostic plan.
Follow on sessions are between 45mins to 1 hour each.
Loose clothing that allows easy access, particularly to the lower legs and arms is desirable. Medical gowns are available if necessary. Please try to avoid large meals before treatment and avoid high caffeine and alcohol before treatment.
