Diane Timewell Acupuncture
For health and well-being

What will happen when I come for a treatment?

KMS acupuncture may be quite different to acupuncture you have had before. This very gentle style is excellent at getting to the root of why symptoms are occurring and how to resolve them. The key may lie in a previous health event or constitutional weakness which may be preventing healing. This might need to be resolved or supported before your current symptoms can get better.

The initial consultation

The first session usually lasts an hour.

We will start with a detailed discussion of your medical history, your present symptoms and your general state of health such as your sleep, diet, digestion and energy levels. It’s important that we know of any previous health incidents you’ve experienced, as these may be preventing healing. Your current life situation must also be considered since stress, a damp cold flat, poor posture or diet can often be key contributors to poor health.

Treatment usually takes place on a treatment couch, although a chair is possible for those unable to lie down. Generally we start face up and Diane may take your pulse, look at your tongue and feel specific areas of your abdomen and neck for diagnostic clues so that treatment can be tailored to your individual needs.

During treatment, very fine, single-use, sterile needles are inserted into specific points on your body. The acupuncture points are not always close to the area where you experience the problem. Points in the foot may be used for headaches for example.

KMS acupuncture is characterised by a very gentle needling style. This promotes relaxation and results in virtually pain-free treatment.

You may be asked to turn over for treatment on your back or side if necessary.

Other techniques such as moxibustion and diodes may be used to supplement treatment. We may also discuss some lifestyle changes, such as diet, exercise and relaxation techniques to help you gain more control over your own health.

Please avoid alcohol and large meals and make sure that you’re not hungry and you have eaten something before treatment.
