Podiatric acupuncture in Derry
Explore your options.
Care around your needs.
Podiatric acupuncture may be considered as part of a plan to manage foot or lower-limb pain.
Your podiatrist will assess your symptoms and medical history, explain the options and discuss whether acupuncture is appropriate for you.
Care tailored to you
Your appointment, explained.
Start with an assessment
Discuss your symptoms, medicines and previous treatment. Your podiatrist will explain whether acupuncture is a suitable option and what alternatives are available.
Agree your care
If acupuncture is appropriate, your clinician explains the procedure, possible benefits and risks, and asks for your consent before treatment.
Review your response
Your response helps guide the next step. The number and timing of appointments will be discussed with you rather than assuming everyone needs the same course.
