Yes and all needles are single use and disposed of after use.

Where Do You Put The Needles?

All over the body but each treatment is individually tailored to treat the presented condition.

Do I Have To Be Referred By My Doctor?

No, but it is good to let your doctor know that you are receiving treatment.

What Qualifications Do You Have?

Four years full time study in a Bachelor of Advanced Health Science specialising in Acupuncture and Naturopathy and Herbalism, extensive experience in two Chinese hospitals.

Can It Cause Side Effects Or Nerve Damage?

Some drowsiness can be felt after a treatment, some slight bruising can occur from damage to small blood micro vessels.

Nerves are seldom damaged.
