Conditions Treated with Acupuncture

I have treated many patients not just with physical problems but also with emotional problems and stress related problems.

I don't particularly like labels but I have treated a whole range of very different western conditions successfully including infertility, missed periods, anxiety, depression, anger, Irritiable bowel syndrome, insomnia, nosebleeds, constipation, IBS, menopausal symptoms, Fibromyalgia, Sciatica, frozen shoulder, arthiritis to name just a few!

Unfortunately, most peoples' first introduction to acupuncture is as a last resort either through their GP with a chronic pain condition such as bad back, sciatica or frozen shoulder.

The most common thing I hear is "I wish had come months ago" when they get sent away after a couple of treatments and the condition is healed.

Although acupuncture is becoming more mainstream and has been proven to treat and help a wide range of pain conditions its use for other conditions is not so well known.

TCM is based on Traditional Chinese methods whereby the whole person is treated so whether to come to see for just a headache or a bad back or insomnia I will be treating you as a whole.

The most difficult case I had was a patient who had Oedema from an old injury. The patient in question was in their eighties with an old foot injury they had had for twenty years, and there was not much hope of them. I was not sure I could help them but four treatments later and lots of moxibustion the swelling had gone down. This patient had been walking around with a swollen ankle for years.

I am very realistic with patient's expectations. I do not get patients to come for months on end for treatment when another therapy might be more beneficial for them.
