Many people turn to acupuncture for help with a specific symptom or condition, for example: headaches, anxiety, arthritis, sports injury, backache, circulatory problems, facial paralysis, fibrosis, high blood pressure, menstrual problems, chronic fatigue or infertility. Others choose to have treatment to help maintain good health, as a preventive measure, or to improve their general sense of wellbeing.
Because traditional acupuncture aims to treat the whole person rather than specific symptoms in isolation, it can be effective for a range of conditions. Acupuncture is holistic in its treatment, treating the mind, spirit and body by balancing and harmonising the body’s energy.

Acupuncture
This art of healing is now common place over the world to treat a range of conditions. Large scale research in Europe and the US have now shown that acupuncture can be effective for conditions such as headaches and arthritis and improving the chances of conception for women using IVF.
Acupuncture was discovered over 2,000 years ago that stimulating certain points in the body could bring about healing of the body’s systems and organs. Chinese medicine considers the smooth flow of energy in the body as fundamental to health. Acupuncture accesses this energy know as Qi, which flows through channels below the skin, helping to restore balance to the body’s systems.
Acupuncture is holistic in its treatment, treating the mind, spirit and body by balancing and harmonising the body’s energy. This can give a general sense of improved well-being. Acupuncture is a complement to conventional medicine. Unlike conventional medicine it does not have any side effects and is natural as it uses the body’s own energy to heal.
Acupuncture Therapy
On every visit your pulses are taken and this combined with other signs and symptoms will allow Claire to make a personal treatment plan. Claire will then discus the treatment options, most commonly this will include acupuncture therapy.
Acupuncture Therapy involves the use of fine single use sterile needles used in specific locations. The needles are much finer to the large needles used in conventional medicine. The needles are sometimes left in for up to 20 minutes during which you may feel deeply relaxed. Most commonly 6-10 needles are used per treatment.
Acupressure
A finger or device can be used to stimulate an acupuncture point without the use of needles. This can stimulate and re-balance the bodies systems and functions.
Massage
Based on the healing therapy of Tui na. This is a very pleasant type of healing massage helping repair the body tissue.
Cupping
This is the placing of vacuum cups on the body, commonly on the back. This varies from a very gentle suction to a slightly stronger suction. This can draw out tension from the body leaving you relaxed and comfortable.
Guasha
This is a gentle scrap of the skin to invigorate the body’s energy. It can give a sense of release as well as relaxation.
Moxa
Moxa is a herb that is burnt close to the skin to stimulate the body’s energy. It will not burn the skin but will feel deeply warming. This is used on specific acupuncture points to warm and strengthen a particular system of the body.
