Conditions Treated

 Acupuncture IS NOT Just for Muscle Pain ! 

Most of us don’t realise how pain free and very gentle a relaxing acupuncture session can be. It leaves you feeling light, calm and serene…and fixes the ailments you came in to the clinic to improve. 

Best of all is acupuncture treats SO MUCH MORE than the aches of muscles we usually hear about. Chinese medicine incorporates acupuncture to treat virtually every organ in the body and to recharge strength and energy. With a holistic approach to well-being, it rebalances a person physically, mentally and emotionally. 

Don’t be afraid to try it if it’s new to you, even severely needle-phobic people have come to love acupuncture.

FAQ:

How does It work?

Acupuncture brings your hormones into balance and reduces anxiety through a process called homeostatic regulation. Its stimulation has been shown to improve the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis,  the mechanism controlling reproductive hormones.

How long will treatment last?

Answering this presents variables, as Menopausal symptoms are not an illness with a curative endpoint, but an alleviation of constitutional discomfort. Most women have remarkably reduced symptoms in just 3 weekly sessions, whilst long term effects are likely in 8-12 sessions, improvement growing with each visit.  Long term maintenance visits are every  8-10 weeks.

What happens when I come for treatment?

In ongoing courses sessions will be spent discussing your progress, and addressing any worries or concerns you may have. Then usually 6-12 needles will be inserted gently as you lie relaxing, fully-clothed, resting for 20 minutes or so as the needles work. Very simple. And afterwards most people are so calm and refreshed they feel a light clarity and are tranquil for many days.

How does it affect my daily lifestyle?

Committing to Acupuncture is about managing your own long term health solutions, and proactively exposing your body and mind to the power of your own natural healing response. Jess is an experienced specialist in Anti-Ageing Medicine and may combine Nutritional Therapy and adjunct Reflexology to enhance and educate you for informed daily health practices to carry with you for years to come.

How will Acupuncture help my symptoms?

By stimulating neurotransmitters, Acupuncture can naturally balance the endocrine system, meaning balance all hormone activity. Rather than try to restore your hormones to the levels they were in your 20s and 30s, Chinese medicine works to smooth your transition by improving energy and constitution, bringing your body into an alleviated balance, ie., no more symptoms!

Why Acupuncture?

Clinical evidence-based trials have proven it to be a viable and long lasting health solution.  Women suffering from symptoms have been treated for over 3000 years successfully, DRUG-FREE. Reduce the many risks associated with HRT and synthetic drugs.                 

Physical Fitness Health and Acupuncture

Fit versus Healthy

There is a difference between being in top physical shape and holistically healthy. Some people may be in great athletic shape, but actually neglecting their body’s other internal health needs. 

There have been numerous cases where professional athletes in the peak of their careers have died of heart attacks and other natural complications. Could these deaths have been prevented by taking better care of their overall health? Possibly.

A physically fit body is typically a body that exudes health and vibrancy, however, this doesn’t mean that underlying illnesses such as cancer or cardiovascular disorders are not underneath the surface.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture, when there are meridian imbalances in the body, our organs are not functioning to their fullest capacity.

Although you may feel in great athletic shape, when our body is out of balance, our organs are not getting the sufficient energy and blood flow they need to function properly.

The best thing to do is listen to your body. If something feels off or you feel low energy, these could be signs of an imbalance in your body.

The foundation of healthy living is a powerful free-flowing meridian system free to help the body without interference; this can be done through acupuncture.

By using acupuncture points on different meridians on your body, you can be restored to balance and better overall health.
