What to expect at your first appointment

Patients are seen on appointment-only basis. Depending on your health issue, expect to spend anything from 30 mins (Pain Management Clinic) to 2 hours for a Traditional Diagnosis and treatment*. (*Acupuncture) For Herbal Medicine and Nutritional Therapy, we will work with you on individualised health plans and possible required lifestyle changes. We may make recommendations for herbs and/or nutritional supplements where appropriate.

We will also recommend the number of sessions that we feel you will require and over what period of time. This will be reviewed at each session. As a guide, we recommend approximately 4-6 sessions for acute conditions and 10 sessions for chronic conditions to ascertain the effectiveness of the treatments. This is merely a guide and you can choose to have more or less according to how you feel you are responding to treatment.

For subsequent sessions allow 30-60 minutes depending on the condition being treated.

What our patients are saying about us

“Due to painful periods, my GP put me on the birth control pill when I was 16. After 2 years, I decided to come off them. My periods completely stopped and 5 years later after having seen several gynaecologists, I had lost all hope and was fearful of never being able to conceive. My friend recommended me to Birinder for acupuncture, but I was very sceptical. When I saw how he successfully helped her with infertility issues, I decided to give it a go, but was still sceptical. I went to see Birinder on a Thursday evening after work and after a thorough consultation, he treated me with 3 needles and left them in for about 20 minutes. I could not believe it when I had a period (my first in 5 years) just 48 hours after the acupuncture.”

Ms M.P.

London

“I had several sessions of Physiotherapy for a frozen shoulder which helped a little, but were short lived. I had heard that acupuncture may help and decided to try it. A work colleague recommended Birinder. He treated me with acupuncture for 4 sessions and made me a herbal poultice to use on a daily basis during the first week. He also showed me a Tai Chi exercise which he felt would benefit me. After one month, I was amazed at how much my shoulder mobility had improved and the pain decreased.”

Mr J.W.

KIngston

“Birinder helped me greatly to overcome a back injury after a major car accident. He combined acupuncture with acupressure massage and was very accommodating in explaining the theory of acupuncture in a very simple and concise manner. I felt completely at ease and I’m sure his treatments were a major contributory factor to both my physical and emotional recovery.”

Mrs R.B.

Walton-on-Thames

“I have been a firm believer in acupuncture and Chinese Medicine for over 15 years and have been treated by several practitioners over the years. I recently moved to Kingston and found Birinder via the British Acupuncture Councils website. He is very calm and has a unique unhurried and reassuring approach to treatment. A real breath of fresh air.”

Ms D.N.

Richmond

Since Birinder initially helped me overcome a very stressful period in my life 2 years ago, I have continued to see him about once a month for general well being and to give me a boost. I have found him to be very flexible with his timetable for appointments and he has not increased his prices in all the time that I have been seeing him.”

Mrs C.M.

Kingston

“Birinder is an amazing teacher with incredible energy and knowledge. I find it incredible how one person can retain such a broad level of skills with the depth of knowledge to match. I found him to be very humble and patient with his teachings and feel truly honoured to be taught by him.”
