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 something specific, others come because they feel generally unwell or ‘out of sorts’.

Interestingly, because acupuncture treatments are designed to impact the entire body rather than just addressing specific symptoms, patients may also notice improvements in other minor complaints during the course of treatment.

Many people continue with regular or occasional treatment after their main complains have improved as they find it beneficial and relaxing

Conditions that acupuncture has been proven to help

There is sufficient evidence, that i can confirm acupuncture is able to treat:

• Short-term relief of tension type headaches
• Short-term relief of migraine headache
• Short-term relief of chronic low back pain
• Short-term relief of neck pain or chronic neck pain
• Short-term relief from temporomandibular (TMD/TMJ) pain
• Temporary adjunctive treatment for osteoarthritis knee pain
• Short-term improvement in the symptoms of overactive bladder syndrome
(through electro-acupuncture at the SP6 point)

My special areas of interest:

Women’s Health and Fertility

Supporting women through all life stages. including the menstruating years, trying to conceive, pregnancy, motherhood and menopause. See my blog posts on painful periods and fertility

Mental and Emotional Health

My own mental health was what brought me to acupuncture, and I see in so many of my clients how acupuncture can be such a calming and balancing support . See my blog posts on anxiety and stress

Musculoskeletal Pain

So many people are living with unnecessary pain, and what a difference we can make to someone’s life when this pain can be reduced. Acupuncture can be used as a tool to release muscle tension and reduce joint pain. see my blog posts for sports injuries and back pain
