Why Acupuncture?

Acupuncture works to reduce both physical and emotional obstructions in the body. The aim is to relieve tension in the presenting problem whilst also addressing the root of the issue. We do this by looking at both the physiological and psychological environment of each patient, treating each individual as a unique entity of mind and body. By treating the whole person, not just the symptom, acupuncture can support long term recovery and help prevent further imbalance. 

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an ancient treatment and one of the five pillars of Chinese Medicine, alongside Chinese Herbs, Tui Na, Moxibustion and Qigong. The practice involves inserting ultra fine, single use, sterile needles into specific acupuncture points on the body. The precise and careful placement of the needles creates micro trauma, which then promotes blood flow. This chain reaction triggers the body’s natural healing response.

When the body is put into a greater state of balance, it can repair and work to its optimum function. Whether seeking relief for acute or chronic pain, fertility, menstrual or pregnancy support, mental health care or gastro-intestinal discomfort, the effects and benefits are myriad and personal to each individual.

Scientific research has highlighted acupuncture's ability to stimulate the nervous system and cause biochemical changes, such as the release of endorphins and other natural pain-relieving chemicals​. This evidence supports acupunctures role in restoring homeostasis, managing pain, reducing stress, and improving overall well-being, making it a valuable tool within both conventional and integrative healthcare settings.

What to expect from a session

After an initial chat and consultation, I will plan a bespoke treatment for you. You will be supported into a comfortable resting position and I will then insert the needles into the acupuncture points that will best assist you. I will then leave you to rest (20-30minutes) and reap the maximum benefits from the treatment. Depending on our focus I combine acupuncture with the following complimentary techniques:

Electro acupuncture
Gua sha
Fire cupping
Moxibustion
Infrared Heat Lamp

After I have gently removed the needles, I will give you some dietary and wellness suggestions that will help you continue your health journey and maximise the benefits of your treatment.
