Traditional Acupuncture

Traditional Acupuncture is based on a system of medicine that has been practised for thousands of years. Treatment focuses on identifying patterns of imbalance within the body and using specific acupuncture points to support the body's natural healing processes.

Traditional Acupuncture is particularly effective for internal health conditions and is commonly used to support:

• Digestive disorders

• Irritable bowel symptoms

• Acid reflux

• Respiratory conditions

• Sinus problems

• Allergies

• Asthma support

• Women's health concerns

• Menstrual problems

• Stress and anxiety

• Fatigue

• Sleep difficulties

Each treatment is tailored to the individual rather than simply focusing on symptoms alone.

Scalp Acupuncture

Scalp Acupuncture combines traditional acupuncture principles with modern understanding of the nervous system. Fine needles are inserted into specific areas of the scalp that correspond to different functions within the brain and body.

Scalp Acupuncture is particularly valuable in supporting neurological rehabilitation and recovery.

It may be used to support:

• Stroke rehabilitation

• Post-stroke weakness

• Mobility difficulties

• Neurological conditions

• Multiple sclerosis support

• Parkinson's disease support

• Chronic pain

• Nerve-related symptoms

• Balance and coordination difficulties

Treatment is often used alongside conventional medical care and rehabilitation programmes.

Balance Acupuncture

Balance Acupuncture, developed by Dr Richard Tan, is a highly effective system that aims to restore balance throughout the body. It is especially well known for providing rapid relief from pain and improving movement.

Unlike some other forms of acupuncture, needles are often placed away from the area of pain while still achieving significant results.

Balance Acupuncture is particularly effective for:

• Back pain

• Neck pain

• Shoulder pain

• Knee pain

• Hip pain

• Sciatica

• Arthritis-related discomfort

• Sports injuries

• Acute injuries

• Chronic pain conditions

• Restricted movement and mobility issues

Many patients notice improvements in pain levels and range of movement during treatment.

NADA Protocol

The NADA Protocol is a specialised form of Ear Acupuncture that uses five carefully selected points in the ear. Originally developed to support addiction recovery programmes, it is now widely used in healthcare and community settings throughout the world.

NADA is particularly effective for supporting:

• Addiction recovery

• Alcohol dependency support

• Drug dependency support

• Smoking cessation support

• Anxiety

• Stress

• Trauma recovery support

• Emotional regulation

• Sleep difficulties

• Mental wellbeing

NADA is often used alongside counselling, healthcare services, and recovery programmes to support resilience and overall wellbeing.

Ear Acupuncture

Ear Acupuncture, also known as Auricular Acupuncture, works on the principle that the ear contains points corresponding to different areas of the body and mind.

It is a gentle yet powerful treatment that can be used on its own or alongside body acupuncture.

Ear Acupuncture is particularly helpful for:

• Smoking cessation

• Stress management

• Anxiety

• Sleep problems

• Emotional wellbeing

• Pain management

• Weight management support

• Relaxation and stress reduction

Many patients find Ear Acupuncture deeply calming and beneficial for managing lifestyle changes.

Fertility Acupuncture

Fertility Acupuncture is a specialised approach that supports reproductive health and aims to create the best possible conditions for conception. Treatment is tailored to the individual and may be used alongside natural conception, assisted fertility treatments, or as part of a pre-conception health plan.

Drawing on Traditional Acupuncture principles, treatment focuses on supporting hormonal balance, improving circulation to the reproductive organs, reducing stress, and promoting overall wellbeing during the fertility journey.

Fertility Acupuncture may be used to support:

• Natural conception

• IVF and ICSI treatment

• IUI treatment

• Hormonal balance

• Irregular menstrual cycles

• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

• Endometriosis support
