Traditional acupuncture delivered by trained practitioners as part of a wider protocol.
Acupuncture is delivered here by trained practitioners, using single-use sterile needles, in a quiet room rather than on a busy clinic floor.
The practitioner takes a history first — this is not a fifteen-minute appointment. Needles are placed at selected points and left in place for twenty to thirty minutes while you rest. Most people feel a dull heaviness at the point rather than a sharp sensation, and a good number fall asleep.
Sessions are commonly combined with auriculotherapy, cupping or moxibustion depending on what your practitioner judges useful.
You take anticoagulants, have a bleeding disorder, are pregnant, or have a pacemaker or other implanted device. Any of those change how or whether a practitioner works, and none of them are things to mention halfway through.
Mountains of Hope holds a Colombian IPS medical facility licence, and everything here sits inside a protocol set by our medical team.
Book a consultation if you would like to discuss whether any of this is appropriate for you.
