Why book a package instead of one session?
Physiological change takes time. Just as one dose of antibiotics doesn't clear an infection, one session rarely resolves a chronic condition — though many patients feel immediate improvement during and after their first visit. Packages ensure clinical consistency, which drives lasting tissue repair and neurological retraining. And your cost per session drops significantly.
What happens in my first session?
Your first session is a full diagnostic assessment. We review your complete medical history, perform physical screenings, and explain the science behind your symptoms. You leave with a clear Treatment Roadmap — so you always know where you are and where you're going.
Does acupuncture actually work?
Yes. We practise evidence-based TCM. Modern research shows acupuncture triggers endorphin release and regulates the nervous system. NICE recommends acupuncture for chronic pain. Cochrane Reviews confirm it's as effective as medication for migraines. At AcuRodos, we track your progress using objective clinical markers so results are measurable, not anecdotal.
I'm afraid of needles. Can I still be treated?
Absolutely. Most patients are surprised by how relaxing the process is. We use single-use, hair-thin sterile needles — far finer than a blood draw needle. You may feel a gentle dull ache called De-Qi, which signals nervous system response. Many patients fall asleep during treatment. Acupressure (no needles) is also available where appropriate.
