Abbey Acupuncture takes a holistic approach to each person's health and will take approximately an hour and a half for the first appointment to fully understand you and your health. Once a diagnosis has been reached and an appropriate treatment plan agreed you will be given an acupuncture treatment which will involve inserting fine acupuncture needles into selected points. The number of acupuncture needles and their location on the body will depend on the treatment plan devised for you. Charlotte may use one or two points in a treatment or she may decide on a combination of several points. An acupuncturist has over 300 acupuncture points to choose from, so if you have any concerns about a specific point please let Charlotte know and she will do her best to use an alternative point.
