Traditional Acupuncture

Traditional Acupuncture is a system of traditional medicine that has been in use for over 2,000 years. It still features in mainstream healthcare in China and is often used in combination with western medicine. It is now one of the most popular forms of complementary medicine throughout the world.

By using fine needles inserted at specific points on the body, acupuncture aides the flow of energy or ‘Qi’ around the body’s energy channels or meridians. It is the correct, balanced flow of this energy which leads to health and wellbeing; stagnation or blockages result in ill health and disease. By taking this approach to achieving and maintaining good health, acupuncture can offer a potential solution to problems that may have been resistant to other treatments and can help improve your sense of wellbeing – even if you have no particular problem but just feel ‘out of sorts’.

Testimonials

    • ACUPUNCTURE “I’ve had migraines since I was 16 – and this year I’ll be 50. They were getting more disabling, lasting much longer and the prescribed medication seemed less and less effective. Acupuncture has transformed my life. I can now go away for a weekend and it doesn’t occur to me to take my drugs with me. Before, I wouldn’t go out for an evening without them in my handbag. Thank you Julie!”

      Mrs A.W., Stamford

    • ACUPUNCTURE – “I am sure Duncan will remember my first appointment as I was such a stressed person. I was at breaking point and didn’t realise how seriously it was affecting my health. It also led to my having IBS although I hadn’t associated the two together. I had read about the benefits if acupuncture for stress, but in truth I didn’t believe it worked. How wrong I was! It wasn’t a quick fix, there is no such thing, but by talking through the cause of my symptoms, I have brought my stress back to a manageable state where it no longer controls me or my life. I can’t thank Duncan enough for the way he has helped me. He is so calm and pleasant, it is a joy to come for a treatment.  I would urge anyone with stress or IBS to have acupuncture as it really works!”

      Mrs D.S., Yaxley
