Clinical Focus
Acupuncture is useful for a wide variety of conditions and my clinic specialises in treating complex conditions where acupuncture can make a decisive difference, specifically as an additional therapy alongside ongoing treatment.
I aim to help patients find relief when standard medical treatments aren’t enough — always leveraging my dual expertise to provide effective care.
Common conditions include:
Chronic Pain, with and without clear explanation
Migraines and Headaches
Fibromyalgia
Endometriosis and Chronic Pelvic Pain
Side effect support during Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy
Cancer-related fatigue
Phantom Limb Pain for Amputees
My clinic also specialises in preventative care. I believe strongly in identifying imbalances early so that we can restore function before more invasive treatment is needed.
Common conditions include:
Seasonal allergies and immune system support
Family-risk conditions (hypertension, etc)
Athletic recovery and acute muscular soreness
Mild anxiety and insomnia
Life stage support (postpartum recovery, menopause, etc)
While the above is my focus, there are plenty of other conditions for which acupuncture is a proven effective treatment. If you’re curious about your condition, the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) has published an A–Z evidence base for acupuncture. If you have any other questions, please feel free to get in touch, I’d love to hear from you.
