FAQs

Pain and injury visits, answered

Practical notes before you book. Your physician still confirms the plan in clinic.

What do I need to take note of before my appointment?

Wear comfortable clothing that can be adjusted easily, and remove accessories. We can provide a change of gown if needed.

What can I expect during the session?

During your initial consultation, your TCM physician takes a detailed health history and assesses your symptoms. They discuss treatment options and create a personalised plan for your pain or injury.

How long does each session take?

Each visit usually takes about 30–60 minutes. A session includes detailed consultation and treatment.

Does it hurt? Any downtime?

Most TCM treatments feel soothing and comfortable. With acupuncture you may feel a slight prick or tingling; discomfort is usually minimal. If you have concerns, tell your physician before and during treatment so they can adjust. Most people return to usual activity without significant downtime.

How many sessions are required?

Session count varies with the type and severity of your pain, and how your body responds. Some people notice relief after 1 or 2 sessions; chronic patterns often need a longer course. Your physician reviews progress as you go.

How much does TCM pain treatment cost at PULSE?

Sessions start from $60 for a physician consult plus one treatment modality when that is the confirmed plan. GST applies. Herbal medication, if prescribed, is charged separately. Multi-modality or longer visits cost more. <a href="../book/?concern=pain&amp;note=Pain%20and%20injury%20care%20enquiry#request">Book a consultation</a> to confirm a plan for your concern.
