Reviews and Testimonials
Below, you can find some reviews and testimonials on our acupuncture treatments.
What Is Acunpuncture?
Acupuncture is a therapeutic technique in which very fine, sterile needles are placed at precise points on the body. These points are chosen because they help regulate the flow of Qi, the body’s natural energy, and encourage the systems affected by pain, tension or illness to rebalance.
Most people find acupuncture comfortable and virtually painless. If you feel uneasy about needles, your Balance Health practitioner can use acupressure instead. This involves applying gentle pressure with the hands or fingers to the same points on the body to achieve a similar therapeutic effect.
To support your treatment, your practitioner may also incorporate related techniques such as massage, moxibustion and cupping. Moxibustion uses the gentle warmth of smouldering herbs to stimulate circulation and ease discomfort.
Cupping involves the controlled application of suction cups to the skin, which can help release tension, improve blood flow and support the body’s natural healing process.

Initial consultation
Your practitioner will take a full case history, ask about your symptoms, lifestyle and goals, and check whether acupuncture is suitable for you.
Personalised treatment plan
Together you agree a plan that focuses on the areas you want to improve, including which acupuncture points to use and how many sessions may be helpful.
Placing the needles
Very fine, sterile needles are gently inserted at specific points on your body. Most people feel little more than a mild, brief sensation.
Relaxation and support techniques
You rest while the needles are in place. Your practitioner may also use gentle massage, moxibustion or cupping to support relaxation and circulation.
Aftercare and follow up
At the end of the session you will be given simple aftercare advice and, if needed, your practitioner will discuss any follow up treatments.
What Are The Benefits Of Acupuncture?
Acupuncture offers a range of benefits for both physical and emotional well-being. It works by gently influencing the nervous system, improving circulation and helping the body settle into a more balanced state.
People often notice improvements in several areas, including:
✅ Reduced muscular tension and stiffness
✅ Relief from chronic or persistent pain
✅ Improved movement in the back, neck and joints
✅ Fewer headaches and migraines
✅ Better recovery from sports injuries and everyday strain
✅ A greater sense of calm, with reduced stress or anxiety
✅ Better quality sleep and deeper rest
✅ Improved digestive comfort and fewer bloating episodes

✅ A more balanced sense of overall well-being
Acupuncture aims to help the body function more smoothly, easing discomfort and supporting your natural capacity to heal and restore balance.
What Can I Expect At My Appointment?
When you arrive for your appointment at Balance Health Centre, your practitioner will begin by taking the time to understand your health in a clear and relaxed way.
You will be asked about your current symptoms, how long you have been experiencing them, and any factors that may be influencing your comfort or well-being.
Your general health and medical history are also discussed so your practitioner can build a full picture of your needs.
This information is then used to create a personalised treatment plan.
Your practitioner will explain which acupuncture approaches may be most helpful and how they relate to the symptoms you have described.
You will also be given an idea of how many sessions you may need, although this varies from person to person depending on the issue being treated and how your body responds.
Throughout the appointment, you are welcome to ask questions at any time. Your practitioner will guide you through each step, explain what will happen during the treatment, and make sure you feel comfortable and supported before your session begins.
How Do I Know If Acupuncture Will Help Me?
Acupuncture may be suitable for many people, especially if you are looking for a gentle, natural way to improve pain, tension or overall wellbeing. You may find acupuncture helpful if:
✅ You experience muscular tension, stiffness or stress-related tightness
✅ You have ongoing pain such as back, neck or joint discomfort
✅ You struggle with headaches, migraines or tension around the head and shoulders
✅ You want support with stress, anxiety or difficulty relaxing
✅ You have sleep issues or feel unrested even after a full night’s sleep
✅ You experience digestive discomfort such as bloating or sluggishness
✅ Your symptoms flare up with posture, activity or daily strain

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Below, you can find answers to some common questions on our acupuncture clinic.
How many acupuncture sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies from person to person. Some people notice improvement after one or two appointments, while others benefit from a short course spread over several weeks. Your practitioner will recommend a plan based on your symptoms, how long you have had them, and how your body responds.
Is acupuncture painful or uncomfortable?
Acupuncture is usually very comfortable. The needles are extremely fine, and most people feel only a light tap or mild sensation as they are placed. Some points may create a brief feeling of warmth, heaviness or tingling, which is normal and settles quickly.
How quickly should I feel the benefits of acupuncture?
Many people start to feel more relaxed or experience reduced tension straight after their first session. Improvements in pain, movement or overall well-being may develop over several treatments as the body responds. Your practitioner will monitor your progress and adjust your plan as needed.
Is acupuncture safe for everyone?
Acupuncture is considered safe when performed by a trained practitioner. Your Balance Health practitioner will review your medical history, any medications and your general health to ensure the treatment is appropriate for you. If acupuncture is not suitable, they will advise you on alternative options.
Can acupuncture help with back, neck or joint pain?
Yes, acupuncture is often used to help ease pain and tension in the back, neck, shoulders and joints. It works by reducing muscle tightness, calming irritated tissues and improving circulation to the affected areas, which may support better movement and comfort.
Does acupuncture help with stress, anxiety or sleep issues?
Acupuncture is widely used to support relaxation and emotional balance. Many people find it helps reduce stress, calm the mind and improve sleep quality. By influencing the nervous system, acupuncture encourages the body to switch out of a stressed state and move towards deeper rest.
How long does each acupuncture session take?
A typical session lasts around 45 minutes. Your first appointment may be slightly longer to allow time for a full assessment, discussion of your symptoms and creation of a personalised treatment plan. Subsequent sessions are usually shorter and focus on treatment and review.
