Treatment

Acupressure is then used to locate and test for the most effective points, before applying single-use sterile acupuncture needles. After relaxing with music for 20 minutes, the disposable needles are taken out and your pain or functional reflexes are re-tested to assess for improvements.

Acupressure is applied again to see if more relief can be gained and then the revolutionary micro-needles are placed in the points to get stronger, longer lasting benefits. The Micro-needles are tiny needles on a water/infection proof patch and can be placed on the body or the ear and left there for up to 3 days, without discomfort or risk of infection.
