Do you suffer from back or neck pain, headaches, fatigue, digestive problems or stress? If so, acupuncture can help you!
Highly specific treatment plans aimed at reducing and resolving the blocks to your health and wellbeing are offered. Acupuncture is part of a system of primary healthcare that is able to address a wide range of illnesses and health complaints. Best of all it is completely natural!
Your acupuncture consultations include:
A thorough assessment of your current and past health
A personalised treatment plan, including acupuncture treatment
Dietary and lifestyle recommendations specific to your needs

Tom specialises in:
Resolving musculo-skeletal disorders – including acute, post-acute and chronic conditions.
Pain management – acupuncture has long been recognised by the mainstream health system for its ability to reduce sensations of acute and chronic pain.
Stress reduction – stress is the bane of the working person’s existence. Chinese medicine sees physical and emotional stress responses as manifestations of internal imbalance and treats them accordingly.
Menstrual disorders & conception care – more and more research is coming to light on the beneficial effects of acupuncture for resolving period pain, aiding fertility and for enhancing the effects of IVF treatment. Menstrual disorders such as PMT, PCOS, endometriosis, amennorhoea and dysmennorhoea respond very well to Thomas' treatments.
The initial consultation will determine an appropriate treatment plan which may involve a course of treatment over a period of time depending on the severity of the issue. Treatment plans are flexible in accordance with your needs, with the primary concern being the resolution of the problem.
Regular acupuncture treatment is a wonderful way of maintaining health and vitality to keep you at your optimal level of wellbeing.
The World Health Organisation states that based on controlled clinical trials acupuncture can be effectively used to treat many diseases including the following:
lower back pain, headache, neck pain, knee pain
adverse reactions to radiation or chemotherapy
