Acupuncture is thought to have originated in China at least 2000 years ago where it is still used to today. Over the last 20-30 years acupuncture has become more and more popular here in the UK as people realise it’s effectiveness for many health problems and as more research is conducted validating its use.

The treatment itself follows a detailed consultation with the acupuncturist who will ask you a variety of questions about your medical history and your general health and well being.They will also examine your tongue and palpate your pulse to gain further insight into your overall health status. Once this has been completed, the acupuncturist will insert very fine sterile needles into specific points on your body, which are surprisingly painless. Once inserted the needles are left in place for approximately 30 minutes while you relax.

Acupuncture is widely recognised for its ability to relieve pain and is very effective for neck and lower back pain, sciatica, knee pain, tennis elbow, headaches and migraines.  Common complaints seen by acupuncturists in the clinic include:
