FAQs About Acupuncture & TCM
Most people are surprised by how gentle acupuncture feels. The needles are very fine — about the width of a human hair — and are inserted with care. You may feel a mild tingling, warmth, or dull ache (called De Qi) for a few seconds, but strong pain is not expected. Jesse always checks in and adapts his technique to your comfort.
Loose, comfortable clothing is ideal — especially sleeves and pants that can be rolled up to the knees or elbows. For certain treatments, like cupping or abdominal work, Jesse may ask to access your back or stomach. A private treatment room and towels are always used for modesty and warmth.
Most acupuncture and integrative treatments take 45 to 60 minutes, depending on what’s needed that day. Your first session may be a little longer to allow time for consultation and assessment. Jesse will always let you know how much time to allow.
That depends on your goals and how your body responds. Some clients come weekly during an active phase (e.g. injury recovery, hormonal support), while others taper to fortnightly or monthly for maintenance. Jesse will discuss the best rhythm for you after your first session — always with flexibility in mind.
Many people leave feeling relaxed, calm, or physically lighter. Some feel an immediate shift, while others notice changes unfold over the next 24–48 hours. It’s not unusual to feel a bit tired afterward — this usually indicates the body is adjusting. Jesse encourages clients to stay hydrated and rest when possible after treatment.

It has made a huge difference to the level of pain that I was experiencing. I would highly recommend Dr Jesse.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Have been seeing Dr Jesse for about 5 months now, for a range of health issues from skin conditions to severe allergies. Dr Jesse’s treatments have helped me greatly reduce and manage my symptoms resulting in a better quality of life that I struggled to find at typical GP’s and specialists. Dr Jesse’s major point of difference in my opinion is how well he keeps track of my symptoms and overall concern about my health, or if there’s anything that can be changed or done different for the better. Would highly recommend going to see Dr Jesse Georgiadis for any health concerns or seeking better wellbeing.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
