The Consultation

During the consultation, we can discuss what you would like help with and how acupuncture can help you, and you can ask the Acupuncturist questions about what would be best for your health goals.

Time to listen, understand and answer your questions

Your first consultation at Rainbow Medicine is an opportunity to share your concerns and discuss what you hope to achieve.

We ask about your symptoms, medical history, current medicines and supplements, and relevant aspects of everyday life, including sleep, activity and stress.

Understanding your needs

Please bring a list of your medicines and supplements, along with any relevant test results or medical reports. Let us know if you are pregnant, take blood-thinning medicines or have any ongoing health conditions.

Depending on your concerns, your practitioner may assess movement or areas of discomfort and use traditional Chinese medicine assessment methods, such as observing the tongue and checking the pulse. These inform the traditional approach and do not replace medical investigations.

Clear information before treatment

We explain the options that may be suitable, what treatment involves, possible benefits and risks, and the expected costs. You will have time to ask questions and decide whether to proceed.

If your symptoms need further investigation, we may recommend assessment by your GP or another healthcare professional.
