Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine has been used to treat a range of diseases for approximately two thousand years. It continues to be used in many countries as a main staple form of medicine, focusing on the underlying patterns of disharmony that lead to illness.

Used worldwide both as a primary and complimentary form of medical treatment with excellent results, Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine aims to keep you physically and mentally healthy. 

Most people, regardless of their condition, will benefit in one way or another by the hormonal, neurological, muscular or emotional effects it has on the body, offering a positive contribution to one’s overall plan for health and wellness.

Fertility, Pregnancy, IVF and Hormonal disorders

We have worked with couples for many years now supporting fertility optimisation and conception. This journey may incorporate balancing hormonal irregularities encountered from menstruation through to menopause as well as supporting assisted fertility (IVF). Acupuncture is regularly recommended by hypnobirthing practitioners and midwives in the third trimester of pregnancy to prepare for the arrival of newborns.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture regulates the body’s ability to heal through the stimulation of specially defined points on the body using fine filiform needles. This stimulation triggers the production of endorphins which act on the same nerve cells as morphine and other pain-reducing drugs. Dubbed the body’s natural opiate, these endorphins help muscles to relax, producing decreased symptoms over longer periods as time progresses.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

The use of Chinese herbal medicine is backed by a long and rich history of research and development. Based on the theories of traditional Chinese medicine, the prescription of herbal remedies reinforces traditional Acupuncture treatments in a natural way, achieving longer lasting results in a shorter period of time. 

Moxibustion

Moxibustion combines the burning of Chinese herbs (predominantly Mugwort or Artemisia Vulgaris) on specific acupuncture points or meridians, with or without the use of needles. It can increase the effectiveness of acupuncture by moving blockages and stimulating the flow of Qi (pronounced ‘Chi’), strengthening blood and regulating circulation. It assists in maintaining general good health and with deficient, weak and/or painful conditions.

Paediatrics

Paediatrics has long been recognised as an important branch of traditional Chinese medicine. Gentle treatments incorporate techniques using intradermal’s, press balls and laser, for emotional, behavioural, digestive and immune disorders.

Cupping

This traditional Chinese medicine practice involves the use of glass or plastic ‘cups’ which are placed on the body via a suction mechanism to help remove toxins and relieve muscle spasm, strains and tension. Producing painless circular bruising marks as a side-effect, cupping creates superficial and deep stimulation around the affected area to improve circulation and encourage healing. It is often used in patients with immune issues such as colds. 

Bowen Therapy

Developed by Osteopath, Tom Bowen, techniques employ a cross fibre flicking method using relatively light pressure. The locations of the applied techniques coincide with known acupuncture points and treat a variety of muscular skeletal conditions. This results in muscle tone changes, reducing pain and improving function.
