Acupuncture is increasingly employed as a stand alone therapy or in conjunction with western medicine, in the treatment of a wide range of conditions.
My patients tend to require most commonly treatment for:
- musculo-skeletal problems (sciatica, back, shoulder and neck pain as well as all sort of joints problems – including tennis or golfer’s elbow, knee problems);
- digestive problems (IBS, constipation, reflux, chronic loose stools, food intolerances, bloating etc.)
- headaches (migraines, headaches related to hormones, weather, fatigue etc.);
- menstrual and fertility related issues (painful periods, PMT, infertility IVF support, menopausal symptoms like hot flushes etc)
- emotional issues (depression and anxiety related problems, including palpitations, panic attacks etc);
- chronic fatigue,
- fibromyalgia,
- sleep disturbances
- respiratory disturbances (allergic rhinitis, Asthma etc),
- immunity or autoimmune related issues
- general balance.
