Our various acupuncture treatments

We are an acupuncture practice in Purmerend. We are committed to overall health improvement. This means that you can come to us for almost any complaint. Below you will find the most common categories.

Relaxation and sleep

Relax in a natural way - who can't use that? With the only “side effect” a body and mind that are more balanced. To solve all traces of stress, sleep problems and more.

Digestion in balance

Your digestive system is the engine of your health and therefore has a very important place in our practice. We will make sure that your engine starts running properly again, with acupuncture and nutritional advice.

Allergy and immunity

In the case of an overstimulated immune system, we help calm the body and address the causes. This can provide relief for hay fever and food allergies. Learn how acupuncture can help.

Hormones in balance

Balance your hormones in a natural way and support your body with changes in menstruation, menopause and energy levels. For a smoother rhythm, fewer fluctuations and a sense of inner stability.

Acupuncture for pain

Acupuncture and pain relief go hand in hand. The most researched and substantiated effect of acupuncture is that it can reduce pain. From tension headaches to trauma recovery, explore the possibilities.

Beautiful skin

Acupuncture works from within to balance the skin. For complaints such as acne, itching, eczema or psoriasis, it not only helps to reduce the symptoms, but also to address the underlying causes.

Illness support

Are you undergoing medical treatment? Acupuncture can provide safe and effective support. To prevent or alleviate side effects (e.g. radiation or chemo) or to give extra strength to a certain aspect of your health.

Addiction and smoking

No longer burdened by the pressure of habit, but simply taking control again. We help you get started with a clear insight into your situation while helping you to relax and solve underlying patterns.

Here's what others say after their acupuncture treatment

Our method helps, read the experiences of happy people who have come before you.

Very satisfied with Alex's acupuncture treatments. From the first moment, I felt at ease and helped in a personal way. Alex has a lot of knowledge and passion for his profession, and he also takes your complaints seriously. Because Alex knows well by asking, he gets more insight to help you even better. Nice to leave with new information and energy after each treatment. I feel more and more balanced. Thank you Alex!

Alex is an expert therapist. He has a great sense of what it takes to bring back the balance in my body and mind. Feel more rest in my body and sleep better.

Jeannette de Jaeger

What a lovely place to be. They listen to you carefully and I have been helped wonderfully.

Wilma Doezie

From the first moment, everything felt very professional and pleasant. During the extensive intake interview, Alex took extensive time to get a good idea of what kind of person I am and where the complaints came from. The first treatment already had immediate results for me and I also received additional advice that I could do something with. The subsequent sessions were also very pleasant. First, check in how things went and the experiences after the previous treatment were briefly discussed. In short, an absolute must.

First time acupuncture? Here's what you can expect.

During your first acupuncture treatment, we take extensive time to discuss your complaints and questions. This is followed by the diagnosis of your wrist and tongue, giving us a complete picture of your health.

The treatment itself is done with very thin needles, which are usually barely palpable. You lie comfortably while the needles stay in place for 20—30 minutes. Afterwards, we'll discuss what to expect and what the sequel looks like. It's a peaceful, relaxing experience. Many people immediately feel more relaxed.

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a treatment method where thin needles are placed at specific points in the body to stimulate self-healing and restore balance

What can I expect after a treatment?

Many people feel relaxed or more energetic. The effect may be noticeable immediately or may develop further in the following days.

How much time is there between appointments?

In the beginning, we usually plan the treatments a little closer together. We often start with one treatment per week. This helps the body to respond properly and to reduce the symptoms effectively.

When the symptoms decrease, we gradually reduce the frequency. The appointments then get further and further apart, up to once every two weeks, for example. If you remain symptom-free for three weeks after a treatment, we consider the treatment to be successful and further treatment is no longer necessary.

After that, you are of course always welcome for treatments focused on general well-being, prevention or relaxation. For example, to keep your energy up, to deal better with stress or to support balance, even when there are no concrete complaints.

What is a good frequency for preventative treatments?

For preventive treatments, a lower frequency is usually sufficient. Many people opt for one treatment every four to six weeks. This helps to keep the body in balance, to regulate stress and to correct minor disturbances in time before they become complaints.

The ideal frequency varies from person to person and depends on factors such as energy, lifestyle, stress levels and seasonal changes. Together, we will see what is appropriate at that time. Preventive treatments are intended to support general well-being, not to treat complaints.

How does the package of 5 treatments work?

You can buy the package online and you will receive a personal code for this.
At your next sequel by appointment, you redeem this code and we will schedule the treatments together (within a maximum of 10 months).
After each treatment, you will receive an invoice that you can submit to the health insurance.

The usual conditions apply to moving or cancelling appointments. If you do this at least 48 hours in advance, the voucher remains valid.
Treatments are personal and cannot be transferred to anyone else or exchanged for cash.

Is the treatment reimbursed?

The acupuncture treatment is eligible for insurance reimbursement. This is from supplementary health insurance ("aanvullend") with alternative care ("alternatieve zorg") coverage. Whether you qualify for this depends on the insurer and policy conditions.

The practice is affiliated with a recognized professional association: Zhong. After the treatment, you will receive an invoice that you can submit to your health insurer for a claim.

We recommend that you contact your health insurer in advance to check your reimbursement.
