Acupuncture can help calm the symptoms of stress.

Suffering with stress?

Some of the most common ways stress can show itself are through the following symptoms:

Can't fall asleep or find yourself waking up early and not dropping off again.
Getting gas, bloating or abdominal pain.
Too tired to do anything.
Feeling anxious or angry and frustrated.

Acupuncture can help calm your mind and your digestion. It can restore your energy and improve your sleep. In addition, I can suggest relaxation techniques as an additional aide to managing your stress.

What does it cost? How long is a treatment?

The initial consultation and treatment is £50. Follow up treatments are £40. Treatment sessions usually last between 45 mins to 1 hour. This is often long enough for many patients to find the treatment deeply relaxing. As for how many treatments, acupuncture tends to have a cumulative effect, so while it is not unknown for a problem to be improved within one or two treatments, the best results can require a few more.

Do the needles hurt?

I use techniques to ensure your acupuncture treatment is delivered as free from discomfort as it possibly can be - I do not believe that pain has to part of the healing process! The needles I use are among the most slender and smooth available – not much bigger than a human hair.

Some acupuncture points are more sensitive than others but even for these points, the technique used to insert the needle has the effect of reducing any sensitivity.

While some new patients are a little nervous about the process, they are considerably more relaxed after their first session!
