Back Pain: Bid farewell to the persistent aches and pains in your back that's been holding you back from being able to live your best life. In particular, we see a lot of lower back pain in the clinic but also incredibly tight shoulders.

Neck Pain: Say goodbye to that stiff neck that makes you feel like a statue – embrace flexibility and freedom of movement. Stiff necks are often common with people who work in front of the desk at their computers.

Headaches and Migraines: No more letting headaches rain on your parade – let acupuncture ease the pounding in your head. Acupuncture is recommended as part of the NICE guidelines for headaches because of how effective it is in that regard. It helps non-invasive headaches that don’t disappear all the way through to debilitating migraines.

Joint Pain: Whether it's your knees, hips, or shoulders, acupuncture can be a game-changer in restoring joint health. This includes things like tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow. It also helps a lot of runners being able to move without any unwanted pains.

Arthritis: Find comfort in the midst of arthritis by harnessing the power of acupuncture's anti-inflammatory effects.

Nerve Pain: From sciatica to neuropathy, acupuncture can help soothe the nerves and alleviate discomfort. Sciatica is seen a lot in the clinic and it can be really effectively treated by acupuncture, especially in more acute cases.

Sports Injuries: Bumps, bruises, and strains – acupuncture can be your ally in the healing process. As a triathlete myself, acupuncture has helped me to compete in races when a few weeks before I had been unable to move.

Fibromyalgia: Embrace relief from the widespread pain of fibromyalgia, restoring vitality to your life. This is one of those conditions where working on both the physical and the mental is particularly important in seeing amazing clinical results.

Plus many, many more.

Acupuncture works wonders in addressing various types of pain. This includes both acute or chronic pain. Let's take a look at how those little needles can make a big difference:

Release the Endorphins: Needling points on the body allow chemicals in the brain, such as endorphins, to be released. These are the body’s natural painkillers and stimulating their release brings sweet relief to your aches.

Relax Those Muscles: Often when we are in pain, or through our lifestyle, our muscles tense up and cause further problems. It’s a never ending cycle. These tense and/or tight muscles don't stand a chance against acupuncture. It's like a soothing massage for your muscle fibres, encouraging them to loosen up and let go of tension.

Say Goodbye to Inflammation: Inflammation is similar to the sneaky villain as it often is the chief culprit behind many types of pain. But don’t worry, because acupuncture has anti-inflammatory powers which helps to reduce swelling and discomfort.

Improve Blood Flow: Better circulation is like a breath of fresh air for your body's healing process. There is a famous saying in Chinese Medicine which states that “If there is free flow, there is no pain”. Acupuncture gets the blood flowing, delivering essential nutrients to the affected areas and bringing harmony to the body.

Holistic Healing: Acupuncture doesn't just mask the pain; it tackles the root cause of your discomfort, promoting overall balance and well-being. Often patients present with a few different symptoms and it is our job as acupuncturist’s to deeply understand how these different things are inter-related.

Mental Wellbeing: Often with chronic pain there is an element of our psychology being involved as well. All of our treatments focus on both the physical and the emotional which helps to clear any blockages and reduce pain.
