I come from sessions energised & refreshed which lasts for days, wearing off gradually until the next treatment. If I could afford it I'd have it weekly but apart from the fee it is about 30 mins drive.

Advice & Tips
This treatment is expensive in terms of time (45min round trip + 1hr treatment) & money BUT it is so worth the cost! I rarely have needling now, tuning forks on those points instead & I recently started trialling sound therapy from the same practitioner. So energising - I feel literally on top of the world!!

Advice & Tips
TRY TO FIND QUALIFIED DOCTOR WHO HAS CHOSEN TO DIVERSIFY INTO ACUPUNCTURE. TRY TO RESEARCH DIFFERENT TYPES OF ACUPUNCTURE: MINE IS '5 ELEMENTS' . THIS INVOLVES WORK ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TORSO LEVELLING/BALANCING THE INNER PERSON. Doc MARTIN SOMETIMES USES TUNING FORKS INSTEAD OF NEEDLES WHICH IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT BALLGAME!

Advice & Tips
Acupuncture almost completely alleviated my symptoms during and immediately following treatment but the effects only lasted as long as a few hours to a whole day. The cost was burdensome for me as insurance did not cover it and it was difficult to get out of bed, showered and to the appointments. Unfortunately, the closest referral was 20 minutes drive and another was a 45 minute drive so adherence was not likely to begin with given my motion sickness while driving long distances and fatigue/exhaustion and lack of income while being sick. Many days I wished for an L.Ac. who did house calls.

Advice & Tips
Community Acupuncture is the best. I have had individual acupuncture in the past but Community is so much better. It is warm, cozy, plenty of blankets if needed and in recliners. Up to 10 other people in the room with you. Sounds strange but I am a total believer in this style now. Also, it is so much LESS expensive!!!
