Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a key part of traditional Chinese medicine - a comprehensive medical system with a history of over 4000 years. It observes the body, mind and spirit holistically and believes that health comes from the smooth flow of vital energy Qi and balance within the 12 internal organs, the 5 elements and the 2 opposing forces of yin and yang.

What can acupuncture treat?

Some of the conditions which have been shown to respond to acupuncture include:

Allergies, hay fever, asthma Constipation, diarrhoea & IBS Depression, stress, anxiety, panic attacks Eczema Fatigue, ME, Chronic Fatigue Gastritis, stomach ulcer, indigestion Headaches and migraine High blood pressure Male and female infertility, PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, recurrent miscarriage Insomnia

Menopause & perimenopause Pregnancy issues - morning sickness, pelvic pain, heartburn, breach, overdue labour Osteoarthritis Pain including back pain, lower back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, hip and knee pain Menstrual problems, PMS, amenorrhoea, dysmenorrhoea Sciatica Stroke & facial palsy Tendonitis, tennis elbow, frozen shoulder, sports injuries

How often do I need to come?

Initially, you will need to come for weekly treatment, usually for 4 to 6 sessions, until your condition is either resolved or improvement really starts to take hold. The space between appointments is then increased until you either don’t need to come anymore or come for health maintenance.
