the body.

The number of treatments required varies depending on your condition, general health, and response to therapy. Dr. Hanson (TCM) usually recommends 2 to 3 appointments to assess your progress and determine the necessary number of treatments.

Most patients report little to no pain during acupuncture. The needles are very fine, and you may feel a mild sensation upon insertion, such as heaviness or warmth, indicating the needle has engaged the meridian.

To take the prescribed herbal powder, dissolve the recommended dosage in warm water and drink it. It’s usually taken 1 to 3 times per day, as directed by Dr. Hanson (TCM). It’s important to follow the instructions carefully and to contact the clinic if you have any questions about your prescription.

Your initial treatment will begin with a comprehensive consultation to assess your current health and medical history. Dr. Hanson (TCM) will then explain the diagnosis and treatment plan, followed by the gentle application of acupuncture needles to specific points. Most patients find the experience relaxing and often feel improvement after the first session.
In addition to acupuncture, if Dr. Hanson (TCM) deems it necessary, herbal powder formulations may be prescribed to support your treatment. These are custom-made based on your diagnosis and health needs.

If you’re uncomfortable with needles, Dr. Hanson (TCM) can use gentle and less invasive techniques. Many patients who initially had a fear of needles have found acupuncture to be a pleasant and relaxing experience.

Acupuncturists like Dr. Hanson (TCM) undergo extensive training and adhere to strict safety standards, ensuring a high level of care.

Acupuncture is a well-established and extensively researched practice that is regulated by the national government board in Australia. To become a qualified acupuncturist, practitioners like Dr. Hanson (TCM) must complete a minimum of 4 years of specialized training and clinical practice, such as the program at the Sydney Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine (SITCM). Acupuncturists are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and adhere to stringent safety, hygiene, and continuing education standards, similar to other healthcare professionals like GPs and specialists. On the other hand, therapists who perform dry needling typically complete a short course of just a few days.
