Awareness

*Please Read Carefully:

TCM is a natural therapy which originated in China over 4,500 years ago and which has proved beneficial in the treatment of a wide range of disorders.

What happens during treatment? 

Acupuncture session , high quality, sterile, single-use needles are inserted into specific points of the body. The points needled will be determined after a detailed consultation with your practitioner and will be dictated by the individual needs of patients. According to individual requirement, the needles will be left in place for some minutes (normally 30 mins). During this time you should keep still and relax to let the therapy take maximum effect. 

Acupressure session (medical massage ) : for some medical conditions, on top of acupuncture, we also need provide acupressure to optimize the effect, it will involve gentle/deep medical massage, manipulation with special techniques when in needed.

Testimonials

I initially visited Jack and Paige a few years ago when I was suffering with tension headaches and also neck problems.

The acupuncture and acupressure treatment I received was very relaxing and rapidly alleviated the discomfort I had been having for weeks.

Jack and Paige make an admirable team, putting you at ease straight away and importantly taking the time to understand the nature of and the cause of the problem. I have revisited them on a number of occasions since, for treatments for myself and my child and I can’t recommend them highly enough.

It’s a five star service.

— Sarah, Scientist, Stratford upon Avon

What our patients say

I recently suffered an attack of facial Bell ’s palsy. I contacted Jack who arranged to see me the same day and commenced an intensive daily programme of acupuncture. This fortunately resulted in a complete recovery over a relatively short period which I put down entirely to Jack’s early and dedicated intervention. — Irving David
