Conditions treated

Acupuncture is being increasingly recognised as an effective treatment option for a range of conditions. Some people come to acupuncture for help with specific conditions, others come because they feel generally unwell or ‘out of sorts’. Many people experience general improvements in their life such as their sleep, energy, digestion, ability to cope with general stresses and strains, and emotional well-being.

I have experience of treating people who have the following conditions:

Acute and chronic pain, such as back pain and sciatica, knee pain, shoulder pain, neck tension, tennis elbow, arthritis, plantar fasciitis and carpel tunnel syndrome,

Emotional problems, such as anxiety, depression, panic disorder, obsessive disorders and insomnia

Gynaecological and hormonal problems such as period pain, PMS, infertility, endometriosis, irregular periods, PCOS, pelvic pain, menopausal symptoms like hot flushes and night sweats , and pregnancy care including morning sickness.

Digestive problems, such as IBS, diarrhoea, constipation, inflammatory bowel disease, and acid reflux

Neurological problems, such as Migraines, Headaches, Stroke sequilae, Multiple Sclerosis, Neuropathic pain, dizziness and restless leg syndrome,

Chronic pain and fatigue conditions, such as Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and ME

Respiratory conditions, such as Asthma, breathlessness, rhinitis and hay fever,

And many others, including urinary disorders, chemotherapy side-effects,  skin conditions…

The World Health Organisation has documented a wide variety of diseases and disorders for which acupuncture therapy has been tested in controlled clinical trials. See here for the World Health Organisation’s list of conditions that can be treated with acupuncture
