About Acupuncture

what is acupuncture?          who has acupuncture?         what does it feel like?          what will happen on my first visit?          how often will I need treatment?           should my doctor know?         is it safe?         how can I find a qualified acupuncturist?

Is it safe?

All members of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) must observe a Code of Practice which lays down stringent standards of hygiene and sterilisation for needles and other equipment. These procedures have been approved by the Department of Health and provide protection against the transmission of infectious diseases. Patients who have been treated by a BAcC member are eligible to donate blood through the National Blood Service.

Only single use sterile needles are used in the clinic.
