TCM Acupuncture or Five Elements

Welcome to my website. I offer a range of complementary acupuncture treatments and therapies providing the most effective treatment to help you achieve a sense of balance and healthy life in Kettering and Wellingborough Northants.

Please note that the list of conditions I treat is not set in stone. You may call and ask if you have any questions.

There are two main types of acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Five Element acupuncture.

I have been trained primarily in TCM with some additional training in Five elements.

The difference between the two style is that TCM was approved by the Chinese government and is the main stay of treatment in their out patient departments. It is very effective for acute conditions such as back sprains and sports injuries as well as other more debilitating diseases.

Five Elements is based on the five phases or elements e.e. wood, fire, earth, metal and water and is especially useful for constitutional types and long term chronic conditions.

I find in my practice and from my 8 years experience that combining both theories is particularly effective.  I have been doing acupuncture in Kettering, Northamptonshire for the past 7 years and have trained and worked in London and China

What you will find is that the style of treament I use means that conditions such as frozen shoulder and sciatica go away very quickly, sometimes in as little as 2-3 treatments. Leaving you to start dealing with any other underlying health or emotional issues which are much easier to cope with without the pain.

I do not just do pain relief acupuncture which you can get from the doctor. I treat each patient as a whole.
