Dr Sai provides needle acupuncture at Springwood Mall Medical Centre. Acupuncture involves placing fine needles at selected points on the body. Whether it is suitable for you depends on your symptoms, medical history and current treatment.
What to expect
Your consultation is an opportunity to discuss your concerns, possible benefits, risks and other treatment options with Dr Sai. Ask what treatment would involve and whether further appointments may be appropriate.
During acupuncture, you may notice soreness, tingling or a feeling of heaviness around the needles. Let Dr Sai know if you feel uncomfortable.
Before your appointment
Bring details of your medicines and tell Dr Sai about any bleeding problems, blood-thinning medication, reduced immunity or metal allergies. Mention any other treatment you are receiving.
Acupuncture should not replace necessary medical care. Do not stop prescribed medicines or delay medical assessment because you are considering acupuncture.
Risks and suitability
Possible side effects include tenderness, bruising, minor bleeding, dizziness and nausea. Infection and more serious injuries can also occur. Discuss your individual risks before deciding whether to proceed.
