Ervaring van een cliënt

Wat ben ik enorm blij met het resultaat van de accupunctuur behandelingen! Ik was 3 weken na het krijgen van corona enorm benauwd en had last van veel slijm wat ik met moeite weg kon hoesten. Na 1 behandeling voelde ik me opeens veel beter. Ik was niet meer benauwd en het hoesten en vele slijm werden in de loop van de dagen al snel minder. Kirsten heeft mij ook behandeld voor mijn PMS klachten, hevig bloedverlies en buikkrampen tijdens de menstruatie. Ik ervaar nu minder zware menstruaties en ben hier enorm blij mee!

Specialisations

Fatigue is usually short-lived, but when symptoms persist or interfere with daily life, it is important to address them. Especially fatigue caused by stress, which can lead to burnout. Acupuncture is a proven treatment for chronic fatigue.

For many people, sleep doesn't come easily. In acupuncture, sleep problems are seen as a disruption of the natural rhythm between activity (yang) and rest (yin). Acupuncture restores this energy balance.

Frequently asked questions

The number of treatments depends on the nature, severity and duration of your complaint. Acute complaints may resolve within 3–5 treatments. Chronic conditions typically require a course of 6–10 sessions. Often there is noticeable improvement after the first few treatments.
The needles are extremely thin (0.2–0.3 mm) — much thinner than an injection needle. With the aid of guide tubes you barely feel the insertion. You may briefly feel a dull, warm or tingling sensation — this is called Dé Qi and indicates the right point has been reached. The vast majority of patients say: “It was much better than I expected.”
Most Dutch health insurers reimburse acupuncture from the supplementary insurance. The compulsory own-risk does not apply to supplementary coverage. Practice ter Horst is a member of the NVA, which is required by most insurers for reimbursement. Check your policy or view the reimbursement overview.
The first treatment takes approximately 60 minutes and includes an extensive intake and diagnosis. Follow-up sessions take approximately 45 minutes. Read more about the structure of a treatment.
