Unlock Your Body’s Healing Potential!

The frequency of acupuncture treatments varies depending on the individual’s condition and response to therapy. Generally, acute conditions might require frequent sessions, possibly weekly, until significant improvement is noted. Chronic conditions may benefit from a long-term strategy with sessions spaced out over several weeks or months. Your acupuncturist at PHP Clinic will recommend a schedule that best suits your specific health needs.

Most patients report feeling minimal discomfort during acupuncture. At PHP Clinic, we use a painless needle insertion technique to reduce the chances of discomfort. You might feel a momentary sharp sensation when the needle penetrates the skin, but many describe the overall experience as deeply relaxing. The needles used are very thin, designed to provide treatment with little to no pain.

Yes, acupuncture is highly effective in managing stress and anxiety. It works by regulating the nervous system, calming the mind, and reducing stress hormones. Regular sessions can improve your overall emotional balance, providing a natural remedy for anxiety and stress-related symptoms. It can also be effectively combined with other treatments such as massage therapy for a holistic approach.

Acupuncture is a very safe treatment when performed by a qualified practitioner. Some patients may experience slight bruising or soreness at the needle insertion sites. However, these minor side effects are typically short-lived. Any significant risks are rare and can be minimized by choosing a reputable physiotherapy clinic like PHP Clinic.
