Dr Prem Bajaj. Dr Bajaj has practised medicine for over 40 years and medical acupuncture for over 25 years. In 1993, he received intensive acupuncture training at one of the busiest acupuncture clinics in Delhi, India in traditional acupuncture and his quest to practice on the principles of modern western medicine and on scientific principles brought him to England to receive training from Dr Anthony Campbell MRCP, at the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital and at the British Medical Acupuncture Society, where he received intensive practical training with Dr Palle Rosted in Sheffield and Dr Felix Mann in London. Dr Bajaj’s interest and skills in the field of acupuncture grew further, which led him to write his Master of Medical Science modules on Acupuncture treatments.

Acupuncture Treatment:
You will be assessed in detail at the first session and treatment will be tailored to your individual needs. Typically, fine needles are inserted through the skin and left in position briefly, sometimes with manual or electrical stimulation or laser acupuncture.
The first treatment is usually using only a few needles with minimal stimulation. Treatment is once a week to begin with, then at longer intervals as the condition responds.
The needles used are sterile and single use. A “no-touch” technique is used which means that the acupuncturist’s hand will at no time come into direct contact with the needle because of the use of a sterile insertion tube.
The most common side effect is sleepiness which is related to the body’s endorphin release following acupuncture. Hence it is advisable not to drive after treatment, especially after the first treatment.
The needles used for acupuncture are very fine, like a hair, hence almost no pain is felt as they pass through the skin. However, occasionally when treating extremely sensitive trigger points, a slight pain may be associated with the needling, but this is usually very brief.
You may experience a temporary mild exacerbation of the pain condition being treated which may last for 24 hours. Occasionally a bruise may develop at the site of needling.
A typical course of treatment lasts for 5 to 8 sessions.
• Acupuncture treatment given is approved by most private medical insurance providers (please check with your provider).
• You do not need a GP or Consultant referral for acupuncture treatment but it is advisable to inform them.
