What do we treat? 

We treat a wide range of conditions which includes, but is not restricted to, those for which we have created specific pages.

These are the most common conditions that we treat and give an indication of the range of applications of acupuncture only.

So if the condition you are suffering from does not appear, that does not mean that it cannot be treated, to discuss your particular circumstances with one of our therapists, you can telephone or e-mail us using the details on our contact page.

TCM is a system of medicine whose roots date back at least 2500 years, and is still evolving today.  It is a holistic practice which evaluates the whole body rather than just specific symptoms, and its diagnostic techniques allow for great precision in treating each individual quite specifically, thus creating treatment plans which are equally precise.  In effect, TCM encourages the body to regain its natural balance and it has a long and clinically verified history of effective treatment for most types of disease.  Finally, it is an understandable and empowering system of treatment which helps patients  to understand their disease process and thus gives them the opportunity to participate in their healing process. 

Treatment in TCM may include acupuncture, the insertion of very fine needles at key points on the body, which helps to regulate the flow of energy known as Qi (pronounced ‘chee’). Sometimes a tiny electrical current is passed between the needles to augment their effect (electro acupuncture). A specialised form of acupuncture which uses small needles at certain points on the ear (auricular acupuncture) is also used for some conditions. Other forms of TCM treatment include (but are not confined to) massage, herbal medicine, moxibustion (the use of a special herb to warm and stimulate the Qi) and a form of therapeutic exercise called Chi Kung.  The patient can also take control of their overall health by following advice on diet, relaxation and exercise.
