Traditional Chinese Acupuncture is the world’s largest drug-free healthcare therapy. Acupuncture is a complex medical system that is used to diagnose and treat illness, prevent disease and improve well being. It originated in China more than 3,000 years ago and, due to its proven effectiveness, has been embraced throughout the world. It involves the insertion of extremely fine pre-sterilised needles at predetermined points on the body’s surface to restore health on a physical, psychological and emotional level. Acupuncture can be used alone or combined with other forms of Traditional Chinese Medicine, commonly referred to as TCM, which can include the following: Ø Moxibustion: a form of gentle and relaxing heat treatment, very effective for certain pains and achesØ Dietary Advice: which is specialised in TCM termsØ Lifestyle Advice: This forms a crucial part of TCM in terms of eliminating factors that contribute to the cause or chronicity of health complaintsØ Tuina: Chinese massage therapyAcupuncture is also compatible with other systems of medicine such as Western medicine. Since TCM promotes the body’s natural healing ability, many conditions can be treated. It is also a comprehensive system of preventative healthcare and maintenance. Its effectiveness is well documented and has established a solid reputation as a system of medical healthcare that works.

Acupuncture consultation and treatment

A detailed medical history is taken including questions about the patients diet and lifestyle and anything else relevant to a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnosis. A tongue and pulse diagnosis is also made. Treatment is then given accordingly. The first treatment is included in the consultation fee. For this reason, first appointments may take 1hour to 1hour 30mins. Subsequent appointments will take from 45 mins to 1 hour depending on what the patient is being treated for.( At least 3-4 treatments are usually required, though not always.) Treatment consists of inserting very fine needles into pre-determined points on the face, body ,arms or legs. Discomfort is usually minimal and subsides once the needle is in situ.They are usually left in place for up to 30 mins. Sometimes they are warmed with a lighted herbal roll called " moxa". This can re-inforce a treatment and also transfer heat into the body where necessary. Patients generally find this extremely relaxing. Another type of treatment called "cupping" may also be used, before or after acupuncture. This consists of applying suction cups to the skin (usually on the back or shoulders) and dragging the cup along the area . This is good for muscle problems and soreness and stiffness. It moves the blood and eases stagnation. Acupuncture  can be safely used alongside most western medical treatments or medications or alone and can help or totally alleviate almost any condition. 

Assessment of the patients health and a complete medical history is taken, including tongue and pulse diagnosis. Current or past fertility treatments/pregnancies are also taken into account. Treatment is with acupuncture, homeopathy and dietary/ lifestyle advice. Acupuncture can be used  in conjunction with IVF and will improve the chances of its success. A course of treatments, tailored to the patient's individual needs, will be necessary. Point prescriptions vary according to the phases of the  menstrual cycle, so it is important to persevere with the treatments over several months in order to achieve the desired results.
