What is acupuncture?<\/h2>\n

I studied Acupuncture at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading and so I practice integrated Five Element Acupuncture and TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) style of Acupuncture.<\/p>\n

Acupuncture works to help maintain your body\u2019s equilibrium. It involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body to regulate the flow of \u2018qi\u2019, your body\u2019s vital energy. For a number of lifestyle and environmental reasons, qi can become disturbed, depleted or blocked, which can result in some symptoms of pain and illness or. In certain instances, traditional acupuncture can be an effective therapy to help restore balance and promote physical and emotional harmony.<\/p>\n

Treatment is aimed at the root of your condition as well as your main symptoms. This approach helps with resolving your problem and enhancing your feeling of wellbeing. You may notice other niggling problems resolve as your main health complaint improves.<\/p>\n

Acupuncture originated in China and other far eastern cultures where it still features in mainstream healthcare, both as a stand-alone therapy and in combination with conventional western medicine. Acupuncture is now widely used and accepted all over the world. In the UK more and more people are finding out what acupuncture can do for them.<\/p>\n

Who has acupuncture?<\/h2>\n

Many people come to acupuncture for help with specific symp- toms or to relieve specific pains like osteoarthritis of the knee. Some use acupuncture because they feel generally unwell but have no obvious diagnosis. Others choose acupuncture simply to enhance their feeling of wellbeing. Acupuncture is considered suitable for all ages including babies and children. It can be used effectively alongside conventional medicine.<\/p>\n

What can it do for me?<\/h2>\n

Some people turn to acupuncture for help with a specific symptom or condition. Others choose to have treatment to help maintain good health, as a preventive measure, or simply to improve their general sense of wellbeing. Because traditional acupuncture aims to treat the whole person rather than specific symptoms in isolation, it can be effective for a range of conditions.<\/p>\n

Remember that acupuncturists treat the person, not just the condition which they have, so each patient\u2019s treatment plan will be different. However, you can always ask your practitioner about other patients\u2019 experiences, to give you an idea of what to expect. Many people return to acupuncture again and again because they find it so beneficial and relaxing.<\/p>\n

Customer Testimonials<\/h2>

\u201cWe have had several visits back to Mark, each one helping to gain her confidence, attitude towards people, generally coping with everyday problems that pop up especially at school.\u201d<\/p>

Lauren<\/h3><\/div>

\u201cI was fairly sceptical but after one session I was convinced. Stress levels reduced, neck tension gone and lower back a lot looser. Amazing results.\u201d<\/p>
