The depth of the insertion depends on the location of acupoints and the purpose of treatment. Generally, the needles are inserted ¼ to 1-inch deep.

Some patients may experience a quick prick sensation during the insertion of each needle while some patients do not experience pain during the treatment.
Upon insertion or manipulation, patients may experience mild soreness, tingling sensation, numbness, pressure or warmth on or around the treatment area.
Acupuncture makes some patients feel energized and some will feel very relaxed after the treatment. Should you feel any discomfort, please inform our practitioners and they will adjust the needle accordingly.
We offer Electro pen acupuncture which is a needleless acupuncture method that stimulates through releasing of electrical pulse to the meridian and acupoints of the body.

The initial visit may take up to 60-mins including consultation, health assessment and treatment. Subsequent visits are up to 45 to 60mins depending on the health conditions (multiple conditions can be addressed at the same time) and treatment plans. Patients can expect acupuncture needles to be in the body for about 15 to 20 minutes.

Depending on the severity and condition of your health and how your body responds to acupuncture, the frequency and duration of each treatment varies with individual. Our TCM practitioner will discuss with you on the treatment plan during the consultation.

All patients will undergo a health assessment and consultation with our TCM physician before undertaking any forms of TCM treatment. Treatment plans are customised individually based on your health conditions. We would encourage patients to clearly and accurately declare your medical condition/history during your initial visit and inform us of any medical changes during your course of treatment.

There is no hard and fast rule for the required number of chiropractic adjustments one needs as chiropractic functions based on your current health conditions and your target health goals.

Discuss with your chiropractor about attaining optimal health; especially short-term and long-term goals to determine the ideal treatment plan tailored for your needs.

Chiropractors specialize in adjustments of the spinal column, nervous system, meninges and body structure whilst massage therapists work on muscle tension, circulation and body fluid drainage. Chiropractic and massage target different areas of the body with separate techniques and differing results.

To ensure your safety, X-rays are essential for pinpointing problem areas in the spine BEFORE any adjustments are done on the patient. They help detect misalignments, degeneration, or abnormalities with accuracy, allowing chiropractors to provide safe and effective care.

Adjustments are not performed during the first visit, as understanding your condition thoroughly is key to a successful treatment plan.

After a detailed review of your X-rays (Report of Findings), your chiropractor will explain the root cause of your condition and recommend the best course of treatment. Start with a Consultation and Spinal Diagnostic Examination, and if X-rays are necessary, the chiropractor will advise you. The entire process typically takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
