How Acupuncture Works
Acupuncture has been practised for more than 2000 years. Historically explained through Qi and meridian systems, contemporary perspectives also highlight its effects on:
- Circulation
- Neuromuscular pathways
- Connective tissue signalling
- Autonomic regulation
Fine, sterile needles influence the body’s natural regulatory processes, encouraging balance and supporting repair. Treatment is selected based on your individual pattern, not a one-size-fits-all formula.
What to Expect
Your first session includes:
- Detailed health history
- Pulse and tongue assessment
- Functional or orthopaedic testing where relevant
- A clear, personalised treatment plan
Most people find acupuncture calming, with sessions lasting around 45 minutes. Francesco will outline how many treatments are recommended for your situation.
Conditions We Commonly Treat

- Musculoskeletal pain

Moxibustion and Adjunct Techniques
Some patients benefit from moxibustion — a gentle warming technique that can support circulation and help with chronic or weak conditions. It is used only when clinically appropriate.
Why Acupuncture Remains in Demand
Acupuncture continues to grow globally because it provides structured, adaptable treatment rooted in both ancient theory and modern physiological understanding. At Results Acupuncture, the focus is always on improving function, supporting repair, and helping you return to the activities that matter.
