A considered approach to acupuncture
Acupuncture at Sprout Natural Health is delivered using a gentle, considered approach, guided by careful assessment rather than fixed protocols. Appointments are intentionally unhurried and begin with time to understand your health history, current concerns, and any relevant diagnoses, medications, or previous treatments.
Treatment is delivered with close attention to comfort and individual response. Where clinically appropriate, sessions may also incorporate elements such as Chinese herbal medicine, cupping, or moxibustion. Care is informed by traditional acupuncture principles alongside modern clinical understanding, with sessions designed to be calm, contained, and responsive over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
If used correctly acupuncture is a safe and relatively painless treatment. The needles used are much thinner than the needles used for injections or blood tests, most are 0.14mm thick, similar thickness to a strand of human hair. Most people report feeling little to no pain during the insertion of the needles. You may feel a slight pinch or prick, followed by a sensation of dull pressure or warmth around the needle.
Some people may experience a slight ache, tingling, or heaviness around the needle insertion site, but this sensation usually fades within a few minutes and is totally safe. Rarely, some individuals may experience mild bruising, bleeding, or soreness at the site of needle insertion.
If you are considering acupuncture and have concerns about pain or discomfort, it is important to discuss these concerns with Conor. He can work with you to ensure that you are comfortable during the procedure and can adjust the treatment as necessary to minimize any discomfort.

For acute conditions, such as a recent injury or illness, more frequent treatments may be necessary initially, such as one to two times per week for a few weeks. Chronic conditions, such as ongoing pain or stress, may require regular weekly or bi-weekly treatments for an extended period.
Ultimately, the frequency and duration of acupuncture treatments will depend on the individual's unique health needs, goals, and response to the therapy. Conor can work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs and goals.
-
Ideally, you should wear clothing that can be easily rolled up or down, such as a loose-fitting shirt and pants or shorts. Avoid tight-fitting clothing, as this can make it difficult for the acupuncturist to access the areas being treated. Additionally, avoid wearing heavy jewellery or accessories that may interfere with the treatment.

If you have a private health plan that covers acupuncture you can claim a portion of your consult back. We have a HICAPS terminal in the clinic so you can claim on the spot! Medicare is not the same as private health, unfortunately you can not claim any portion on your treatment back with medicare.
