Body Acupuncture

Body acupuncture supports health by restoring balance to the body’s energy systems. Using fine, sterile needles placed at precise points, acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural healing response, relieving pain, calming the nervous system, and supporting emotional and physical well-being. For help with chronic pain, stress, hormonal imbalance, fatigue, or digestive concerns, acupuncture offers a safe, evidence-informed approach rooted in both tradition and modern science.

"Balance the body. Calm the mind. Restore your energy from within."

Migraine and Tension Headache Management

Benefit from a natural approach to preventing and reducing the frequency of migraines and tension-type headaches. This acupuncture protocol targets key meridians and trigger points to regulate the nervous system, relieve muscle tension, and improve blood flow.

Endorsed by organisations like NICE (UK) and Cochrane Reviews for its effectiveness in reducing headache days and intensity, particularly in migraine prophylaxis.

Anxiety and Stress Reduction

Restore balance with acupuncture sessions focused on calming the nervous system, reducing cortisol levels, and enhancing emotional resilience. This service is ideal for clients managing generalised anxiety, insomnia, or work-related stress.

Supported by randomised controlled trials and systematic reviews (e.g. Journal of Affective Disorders), showing acupuncture’s role in reducing anxiety symptoms and improving quality of life.

Chronic Pain Relief

Experience targeted acupuncture treatments designed to relieve chronic musculoskeletal pain, including lower back pain, osteoarthritis, and tension headaches. Backed by high-quality evidence, acupuncture is a proven, non-pharmacological option that can significantly reduce pain intensity and improve physical function.

Supported by meta-analyses and systematic reviews, including those published in The Journal of Pain and BMJ, which show moderate to strong efficacy for chronic pain conditions.

Benefits of Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique involving the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body to stimulate physiological responses. Modern research has explored its efficacy across various health conditions.

Chronic Pain Relief: Acupuncture has been shown to provide modest benefits in treating chronic pain, including low back pain, tension-type headaches, and migraines.
Mechanisms of Action: The practice may alleviate pain by enhancing the release of endogenous opioids (e.g., endorphins) and modulating the autonomic nervous system.
Postoperative and Acute Pain: Evidence suggests acupuncture can alleviate acute pain conditions, including postoperative pain and primary dysmenorrhea.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): Acupuncture interventions may have a positive effect on pain relief, physical function, and health-related quality of life in RA patients.
Cancer-Related Symptoms: Acupuncture has been reported to benefit cancer-related symptoms, including pain, fatigue, hot flushes, and anxiety.
