My clinic is in a tranquil garden setting.
Appointments last one hour and comprise of a consultation covering your health concerns and a relaxing acupuncture treatment using high quality ultra fine single-use sterile needles.
With your agreement, treatment for certain conditions may involve ancillary techniques to enhance therapeutic outcomes. These techniques are electroacupuncture (gentle electrical stimulation of acupuncture needles for pain relief), moxibustion (burning of a warming and nourishing Chinese mugwort herb), gua sha massage, and cupping (where a vacuum is created with cups to improve blood flow, release muscle tension and eliminate toxins).
Lastly, I give achievable personalized diet and lifestyle advice based on Chinese medicine principles to help gain the best results in parallel with the acupuncture treatment.
Conditions that I have seen in clinic include tennis elbow, back and shoulder pain, headaches, IBS, perimenopause and hormonal health, fibromyalgia, insomnia, overactive bladder, hay fever, stress and anxiety. However, do get in touch to see if acupuncture can be beneficial for you.
Receiving acupuncture is not painful and you may feel a slight tingling, numbness or heaviness at the sight of needle insertion which indicates the body has registered the needle. Some patients feel so relaxed they fall asleep!
I also work at the Leaf Clinic in Hitchin on Thursdays, please book Lucy online via their website www.leafhealth.co.uk
