Most people experience acute or chronic physical pain at some point in their lives, and it’s the most commonly treated condition in my practice. It is also my area of specialism and specialist training.

 

Acupuncture can treat a wide variety of pain issues. From acute conditions such as sudden back or knee injury pain, to chronic conditions such as migraines, repetitive strain injury, neck or shoulder pain, osteoarthritis, sciatic pain, abdominal pain associated with gut disorders, period pain, fibro pain and neurological pain.

It can help sportspeople to maintain training and performance levels, and improve injury recovery. Some patients may have lived with chronic pain for years or decades without finding successful management. Even in these cases acupuncture can often – although not always – be effective. Living with long- term physical pain is an exhausting reality, often accompanied by a degree of grief and mental anguish that also needs acknowledgment and healing.

 

I have helped people of all ages and phases of life, with the aim of reducing suffering as much as possible and returning people to a fuller life.

In cases of acute pain, patients generally benefit from frequent treatment – two or three times per week - in order to effectively reduce the pain quickly.  These treatments are discounted. Please contact me for further details of these rates. In cases of chronic pain management we may start with frequent treatments then ongoing regular maintenance treatments.
