Regularly taking your pulse is an important diagnostic part of our practice procedure. I combine your first acupuncture treatment as part of this initial consultation.<\/p>\n<p>This meeting also provides an opportunity for you to ask any questions that you may have about the treatment you will receive whilst at Willow Acupuncture.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Subsequent Treatments<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Following treatments will be based on information offered and observations made in the first appointment along with any additional patient feedback. Acupuncture using fine needles either commences or continues during the second appointment and treatments are tailored to each individual and will vary from person to person.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">How often is treatment needed<\/span>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This will vary for each patient and will be linked to health concerns that are being addressed. Some chronic long term illness may benefit from regular treatment over a period of time while relief from an acute health problem might be achieved in a comparatively short time span. My observation has indicated that individual progress is generally different for each person which in turn may affect the frequency of treatments.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Treatment Fees<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; Costs vary between locations<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Moseley<\/span>:<\/p>\n<p>Private consultations available at<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.btac.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Birmingham Traditional Acupuncture Centre<\/a><br \/>131A, Alcester Road,<br \/>Moseley,<br \/>Birmingham,<br \/>B13 8JP<\/p>\n<p>t: 0121 429 9500 \u00a0 m: 07745 893555<\/p>\n<p>Initial Consultation (up to 1 1\/2h) \u00a370 \u00a0 Follow up Treatment (up to 1h) \u00a350<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.willowacupuncture.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/btac_registration_form.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click to download a Registration Form<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.willowacupuncture.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/btac-patient-questionnaire.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click to download a Confidential Patient Health Questionnaire<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.willowacupuncture.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BTAC_PX_guidelines_steve_export.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click to download a Guidelines for Patients Document<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.willowacupuncture.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/BTAC-Covid-19-consent-form-V3-EXPORT.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click to download a Covid19 Consent Form<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.willowacupuncture.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/five-elements.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-46 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.willowacupuncture.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/five-elements.jpg\" alt=\"Five Elements Image\" width=\"180\" height=\"37\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40\" style=\"width: 199px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.acupuncture.org.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-40\" src=\"http:\/\/www.willowacupuncture.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/bacc-member-badge.jpg\" alt=\"British Acupuncture Council Logo\" width=\"199\" height=\"71\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-40\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steve is a member of the BAcC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.willowacupuncture.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Accredited-Registers-mark-large.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-116\" src=\"http:\/\/www.willowacupuncture.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Accredited-Registers-mark-large-300x212.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"138\" height=\"98\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.willowacupuncture.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Accredited-Registers-mark-large-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.willowacupuncture.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Accredited-Registers-mark-large-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.willowacupuncture.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Accredited-Registers-mark-large-1024x725.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.willowacupuncture.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Accredited-Registers-mark-large.jpg 1785w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 138px) 100vw, 138px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Initial Consultation Your first visit involves taking a medical history and discussing how acupuncture can help you.
