Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine in Northern Ireland
Is acupuncture safe during pregnancy?
Acupuncture can be very safe during pregnancy when performed by qualified practitioners using pregnancy-safe protocols. Many expectant mothers find it helpful for morning sickness, back pain, and preparing for labor. We always inform your GP and follow UK pregnancy acupuncture guidelines.
How many acupuncture sessions are typical for back pain?
Most patients notice improvement within 4-6 sessions, with a typical treatment plan of 8-12 sessions over 6-10 weeks. Acute pain may respond faster than chronic conditions. We assess progress regularly and adjust treatment frequency based on your response.
Can acupuncture support IVF or IUI treatment?
Research suggests acupuncture may improve IVF success rates when used as a complementary treatment. We work alongside your fertility clinic, typically starting treatment 3 months before your cycle to optimize your body's readiness for conception.
Are Chinese herbs safe and how are they prescribed in the UK?
All our Chinese herbs are sourced from MHRA-approved suppliers meeting UK safety standards. Formulas are personalized based on your TCM diagnosis and adjusted for any medications you're taking. We provide clear preparation instructions and monitor your response carefully.
Do you serve Craigavon, Lurgan, and Portadown — where are you located?
Yes, we welcome patients from across County Armagh. Our main clinic is located in Portadown, making us easily accessible to patients from Craigavon, Lurgan, and surrounding areas. We also have a Belfast clinic for those traveling from further afield.
Can I claim TCM treatments through private insurance?
Many private health insurance policies cover acupuncture when referred by a GP or for specific conditions. We can provide detailed receipts for your insurance claims and work with you to understand your coverage options.
