About Acupuncture Wokingham
Acupuncture Wokingham is located in the heart of Wokingham town centre at Wokingham Therapy Clinic, 49 Denmark Street, Wokingham, Berkshire, RG40 2AY. The clinic is led by Dr (TCM) Attilio D'Alberto, who has over 25 years of experience in traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine.
Dr (TCM) D'Alberto graduated with a BSc (Hons) from Beijing University in China in 2004 after completing a full five-year intensive degree programme — not a weekend course. He is a registered member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) and has treated thousands of patients across Wokingham and Berkshire over the past 25 years.
What to expect on your first visit
On your first visit to Acupuncture Wokingham, Dr (TCM) D'Alberto will take a full medical history and ask about any health concerns you have. He will assess your tongue and pulse — a non-invasive diagnostic technique used in traditional Chinese medicine — to build a detailed picture of your health. He will then provide a personalised TCM diagnosis and put together a course of acupuncture treatment tailored specifically to your needs.
Before your acupuncture session
There are a few simple things you should do before attending your acupuncture appointment in Wokingham.
Avoid caffeine and alcohol for a few hours beforehand, as both raise your heart rate. Water or decaffeinated drinks are fine.
Don't eat a heavy meal immediately before your appointment. Depending on your treatment, you may need to lie on your back or stomach, which can be uncomfortable on a full stomach.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your arms, legs and lower abdomen. This makes it easier for Dr (TCM) D'Alberto to access acupuncture points without unnecessary disruption to your session.
Is acupuncture safe?
When performed by a qualified and registered practitioner, acupuncture is extremely safe. At Acupuncture Wokingham, all needles are single-use, pre-sterilised and disposed of safely after each treatment. The procedure is virtually painless — most patients feel a brief, mild tingling sensation as the needle is inserted, which quickly passes.
