At the initial consultation a full case history including all symptoms, medical and family history, lifestyle and emotional issues will be taken. Using this information, we make a thorough diagnosis and suggest a treatment plan specifically tailored to your individual needs. Each person and each condition responds differently to treatment. Some require short-term courses of treatment, others need longer.

A typical course of acupuncture requires four to ten treatments. The ultimate aim is to become healthy enough to only require treatments as a means of preventative health care.

 Acupuncture is a recognised dynamic and effective treatment for a wide range of health conditions. It targets the root cause of any illness, as well as relieving symptoms. It is because of this that the benefits of acupuncture frequently include more than just relief from a particular condition. Many people find that it leads to increased vitality, energy levels, better digestion and sleep as well as an enhanced sense of overall wellbeing.

It is particularly effective in treating:

 • painful conditions such as headache, migraines, osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, backache, sciatica, fibromyalgia, physical injuries, repetitive strain injuries

• fatigue disorders, ME, tiredness, lack of motivation, depression, insomnia, anxiety and stress

• digestive problems such as IBS, diarrhoea, constipation, Crohn's disease and colitis

• gynaecological problems including PMS, painful, heavy, irregular or absent periods and infertility

• IVF and ICSI Support
