Acupuncture needles are very fine and most people experience little to no discomfort on insertion. Some patients describe a brief dull ache or warmth around the needle site, which typically resolves quickly. Your practitioner will check in with you throughout the treatment.
The number of sessions varies depending on your condition and how your body responds to treatment. Your practitioner will give you a realistic expectation at your initial consultation. Some patients notice changes after a single session; others benefit from a course of treatment.
Many private health funds cover acupuncture performed by AHPRA-registered practitioners under extras cover. Cover and rebate amounts vary by policy. We have HICAPS available for on-the-spot claiming.
When performed by a qualified AHPRA-registered practitioner, acupuncture is considered safe. Our practitioners use single-use sterile needles and follow strict clinical hygiene protocols. Any risks or contraindications relevant to your health will be discussed prior to treatment.
