SERVICES
I can help you with the problems listed below and more. What you may not know is that with the gentle skills of Japanese acupuncture, I can help you with an absolute minimum of discomfort.
Acupuncture has a bit of a reputation for brutality, right? NOT in my clinic, it doesn't!
Many of my patients don't even feel the needles! I've treated bona fide, scared-to-death needlephobes and had them FALL ASLEEP on the table. Must be pretty harsh stuff, right?
Most of my patients find their gentle acupuncture treatment to be a truly pleasant, relaxing experience. You won't be closing your eyes and gritting your teeth in my clinic!
Imagine catching a nice refreshing nap while you heal from a problem that's been nagging at you for ages. Sounds pretty good, yes?
There are a lot of problems I can help you with, too. Let's have a look at some of them.
Acupuncture can increase your fertility. Are you struggling to conceive a child? Acupuncture is proven to increase the odds of successful in-vitro fertilisation. A systematic review published by the British Medical Journal in 2008, reviewing seven acupuncture trials with a total of 1366 patients, found that acupuncture increased the rates of IVF success significantly.(1)
Acupuncture can improve the length and quality of your sleep.
Are you one of the 30% of people who suffer from insomnia?(2) Start getting the rest you need with the help of Gentle Japanese Acupuncture. Research shows that acupuncture can stimulate your body's natural melatonin production and reduce anxiety, increasing the chance of a good night's sleep.(3)
Acupuncture can reduce the frequency and severity of your headaches.
Research in Britain has demonstrated that regular acupuncture can result in an average of TWENTY-TWO less days of headaches per year.(4) Are you suffering from a month of headaches every year? Let's cut that number down to size together.
That's just a couple of the problems Japanese acupuncture can help you with. Here's just a few more...
