About Acupuncture
History
Acupuncture is a branch of traditional medicine that has been practiced in China and the far east for thousands of years.
It has been developed, tested, researched and refined over this time into a treatment option accessed by increasing numbers of patients in the West.
With the overall aim to bring your body back to balance by moving qi and vital energy to enables a natural healing response.
Without the benefit of modern scientific equipment, the first acupuncturists discovered many now familiar aspects of biomedical science.
Conditions
The British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) have compiled a selection of fact sheets which provide accurate and unbiased general information for a variety of conditions.
Benefits of Treatment
A growing body of evidence-based clinical research is discovering how the body responds to acupuncture and its benefits for a wide range of common health conditions.
Other people choose acupuncture when they can feel their bodily functions are out of balance but have no obvious western medical diagnosis leading to western medical treatment. Many also have regular treatments simply because they find it beneficial and relaxing.
The focus for a traditional acupuncturist is on the patient as an individual and not just their specific illness, and all symptoms are seen as part of an interconnected pattern.
Treatment involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points which are said to affect the flow of your body’s qi, or vital energy, although there is ongoing research and study that suggests what many practitioners already know: that inserting needles into the channels (or meridians) affects change within the human body, and the term ‘energy’ is rather simplistic.
Other Treatments
I can offer you a bespoke treatments tailored to your needs and requirements.

Frequently asked questions
Your initial visit will take up to an hour and a half and consists of a personal and medical consultation covering your family history, lifestyle, systems functions (eg. sleep, appetite) and full details of your current complaint/s and any test or investigations that you have had.
You will also have the opportunity to discuss in complete confidence any concerns or troubles you may currently be dealing with.
After your consultation I will carry out a number of short non invasive physical diagnostic tests including blood pressure, temperature distribution and pulse taking. In most cases, aside from the most complex, this is then followed by your first treatment.
Adjunctive therapies may be used including the use of moxibustion and cupping for specific conditions as appropriate.
Subsequent appointments take up to three quarters of an hour, and include discussion of your progress and your treatment to date.
Many patients are concerned that acupuncture maybe painful but as the needles are flexible and about as thick as two human hairs and there is usually only a very slight sensation as it enters the skin.
Many find acupuncture relaxing and feel very calm after a treatment; you may also feel a little tired or sleepy so resting afterwards may be beneficial.
