What Can Acupuncture Help?
Traditional Acupuncture is a complete system of diagnosis and treatment and as such is used to treat a very wide range of health conditions, too many to list. It is used to treat both humans but vets also use it to treat animals.
Aswell as being very effective for Adults, treating a very wide range of conditions, Acupuncture is also particularly effective for babies, children and teenagers. Treatment of younger children and babies often does not require needles but when it does, almost all children will happily accept Acupuncture treatment.
Acupuncture treats a wide variety physical health issues but also can help us emotionally. It is usually possible to achieve both at the same time so my clients often report more personal effects like feeling more energised, content, confident, relaxed etc. Many people come specifically for help with issues relating to their emotions.
Below you can find details on some common areas for which Acupuncture is used. If you are unsure whether it might be able to help you, please contact me using any of the methods at the bottom of this page. If Acupuncture would not be helpful, I can normally suggest another reliable professional in the area who might be able to help.
Children & Young People
Babies & Toddlers
Acupuncture helps many of the difficulties of early childhood that we assume have just to be accepted. Colic, pain, nighttime waking, infections, digestive difficulties are just a few of the issues commonly helped.
Children
Children respond well to Acupuncture. It helps physical and emotional issues. Common areas helped are asthma, eczema & allergies, pain, digestion & appetite, concentration & behaviour, sleep, bedwetting & recurrent illness.

Our teenage years cause significant emotional and physical challenges. Acupuncture treats both the symptoms and the person helping teenagers more easily adapt and fulfil their potential.
Fertility & Pregnancy
IVF, IUI ICSI etc
Acupuncture is the most frequently included complementary treatment to support assisted reproduction treatment. It is integrated into many of the best fertility clinics in the world.
Female Fertility
Acupuncture has a well deserved reputation for enhancing fertility, often being a key factor in successful pregnancies. Treatment identifies important issues affecting fertility, regulates the menstrual cycle and emotions and can support issues like low ovarian reserve and hormonal imbalances.
Male Fertility
When couples struggle to conceive, the focus is often on the woman in the relationship but in many cases, support is helpful for the man. Acupuncture, with advice where helpful, can positively influence sperm count and quality as well as other fertility related issues.
Pregnancy & Birth
While being an amazing journey, pregnancy often can involve significant emotional or physical difficulties. Acupuncture is one of the safest forms of medicine for you and your baby and, every day, helps women enjoy rather than survive pregnancy.
Emotional Wellbeing
Freedom from Anxiety
Anxiety is one of the most common and sometimes most overwhelming forms of emotional distress. Modern life with its many demands can leave us feeling over-stimulated but also depleted. We can feel powerless because even though we want to, we can’t change our anxious state. Acupuncture works to balance the body & mind, addressing the overstimulation we are experiencing and bringing us to a state where we feel calm and in control once more.
Relief of Depression
When we are depressed we can feel powerless or trapped because even though we want to feel more content, we can’t just change our emotional state with a click of our fingers. Acupuncture works to balance the body & mind, by understanding where our system is depressed and where overloaded, treatment can help bring us to a state where we feel energy, motivation and joy once more.
Release from Stress
Modern life with its many demands leaves many of us feeling overwhelmed or swamped at some point. Acupuncture works to balance the body & mind, addressing the over-stimulation we are experiencing, allowing us to experience our life and meet our responsibilities from a position of calmness & strength.
