ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is a traditional form of Chinese medicine, using very fine sterile needles. It is pain-free and extremely relaxing.
Acupuncture is steeped in history and increasingly supported by modern science. It is used most effectively in injury management and in the treatment of chronic pain, but can help with a wide variety of ailments. These include stress, anxiety, insomnia, headaches, migraines, fertility and menstrual problems including PMT and menopause.
My areas of specialist interest are in injury and pain management, musculoskeletal (neck, shoulder and back issues) and women's health, fertility and gynaecology. This may be from planning, through IVF and on to post-partum support - and even acupuncture for children and babies.

INJURY MANAGEMENT
AND CHRONIC PAIN
ACUPUNCTURE FOR FERTILITY
& PREGNANCY SUPPORT
Chronic pain, whether musculoskeletal (neck, back and shoulder), or from headache and migraines, can be debilitating and reduce mobility as well as quality of daily life. Over time, untreated injuries and issues can become exacerbated, which can lead onto to other complications and pain. Acupuncture is incredibly effective for pain and injury relief and is mentioned in the UK's NICE guidelines as a solution for headaches and chronic pain relief.

Acupuncture can support your fertility journey, either alongside IVF treatment, or on its own, ideally from three months prior to starting IVF, through to childbirth (and beyond). Acupuncture can also help to maintain pregnancy health to reduce the risk of miscarriage, while supporting your overall health and wellbeing. It is completely safe to have acupuncture during IVF treatment and all stages of pregnancy. Read more about fertility support here and about pregnancy support here.
