Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles at specific points to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. We use both traditional Chinese and modern techniques to treat pain, stress, and chronic conditions. Our approach combines 35 years of clinical experience with evidence-based practice for effective, personalised care.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Customised herbal prescriptions address internal imbalances and support recovery from conditions like digestive disorders and hormonal issues. We use high-quality plant-based formulations rooted in classical Chinese medicine. This therapy complements acupuncture for enhanced treatment outcomes in fertility and chronic fatigue cases.
Low Intensity Light Therapy
Needle-free photobiomodulation therapy stimulates acupuncture points using low-intensity laser light. This painless treatment suits needle-phobic patients and enhances traditional acupuncture effects. It's particularly effective for musculoskeletal pain and inflammation without invasive procedures.
Fertility Acupuncture
Specialised treatments improve reproductive health and support IVF outcomes through enhanced blood flow and hormonal balance. We combine acupuncture with lifestyle advice for both male and female fertility challenges. Our approach aligns with British Acupuncture Council guidelines for infertility care.
Acupuncture in Pregnancy
Gentle acupuncture addresses pregnancy-related discomforts including morning sickness and pelvic pain. We follow strict safety protocols for treating expectant mothers, focusing on natural symptom relief without pharmaceuticals. Treatments support overall maternal wellbeing throughout all trimesters.

Questions
What conditions can acupuncture treat?
Acupuncture effectively addresses pain management, fertility issues, chronic fatigue, stress, digestive disorders, and pregnancy-related discomforts through holistic stimulation of the body's natural healing processes.
Is acupuncture safe during pregnancy?
Yes, when performed by a qualified practitioner. We use specific protocols for prenatal care, addressing morning sickness, pelvic pain, and labour preparation while adhering to strict safety standards for expectant mothers.
How does Chinese herbal medicine work?
Herbal prescriptions use plant-based ingredients to address internal imbalances. Each formula combines multiple herbs for synergistic effects, targeting specific conditions while minimising side effects through careful formulation.
What is photobiomodulation therapy?
This needle-free therapy uses low-intensity laser light to stimulate acupuncture points, offering pain relief and inflammation reduction without invasive procedures. It's particularly effective for musculoskeletal conditions and sensitive patients.
How many sessions will I need?
Treatment plans vary by condition. Most patients notice improvement within 5-6 weekly sessions, though acute cases may require fewer treatments while chronic conditions might need extended care for optimal results.
Do you accept private healthcare referrals?
We recommend checking with your insurance provider about acupuncture coverage. Patients should inform their GP about ongoing treatments to ensure coordinated care with existing medical prescriptions.
