Acupuncture for Children

I have always had a keen interest in treating children with acupuncture having treated my own children when I first qualified. Even young babies can benefit from acupuncture and it is not always necessary to stimulate the point with needles although this usually produces a better result. Needles are inserted until the Qi is obtained.

Your child may cry a little but it is usually possible to treat the child while they are on the parents lap. This tearfulness usually only lasts for a few brief moments and will quickly disappears once the needles are removed. Children respond very positively to acupuncture.

With young children and babies the needles are only briefly inserted and then removed. Whereas with older children and grown ups a longer time is needed to ensure that a desirable effect is achieved. Occasionally I will use moxa or cupping as part of this treatment.

 

 What clients have said about my services

I had suffered for nearly ten years with a shoulder problem which caused me pain and limited movement; I wasn’t able to swim or lift and it became so bad that I had an appointment for surgery, which I was told by the surgeon was the only treatment for what he diagnosed as Acute Calcific Tendonitis.

That was three years ago and I still have no pain or limitation, I regularly go swimming and I’m so glad I didn’t go through with the surgery. 

I’m really grateful to Sarah for improving my quality of life and If you are thinking of seeing her I would strongly recommend you do.

I was treated by Sarah Strudwick in 2002 for menopausal symptoms, using acupuncture. I chose this as I did not want to take HRT in any shape or form.

The treatment proved to be very effective for me, and 5 years later I very rarely have any hot flushes or other symptoms. 

I would recommend this to anyone as an excellent alternative to HRT.

I found my acupuncture sessions with Sarah to be relaxing and calming, and her realistic approach to dealing with my complaint was reassuring. I would thoroughly recommend her service

I hadn't had a period for over 3 months and had been suffering from stress at college. After only one treatment with acupuncture from Sarah my periods started the following day. On top of that I had a few more treatments and my stress levels went right down and I felt much calmer.
