✨ New Cochrane Review Confirms Acupuncture Helps with Chronic Low Back Pain!

A newly published Cochrane review of reviews has examined non-drug and non-surgical treatments for low back pain. The results? Acupuncture effectively reduces pain and improves function for those with chronic low back pain! 🎯

🔸 Acupuncture is already integrated into mainstream healthcare in several countries:
✅ Statutory regulated in Australia, New Zealand, and Portugal
✅ Covered by healthcare insurance in Germany and New Zealand
✅ Recommended in clinical guidelines when seeking out a PSA registered practitioner (BAcC)

However the study highlights that many clinical trials underestimate the real benefits of acupuncture because they don’t reflect the personalised treatments given by traditional acupuncturists.

⚡ Traditional acupuncture:
✔️ Is a safe intervention when provided by trained professionals
✔️ Can be a long-term solution for pain management

🔍 Looking for a trusted acupuncturist? The British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) ensures the highest standards of training, safety, and professional conduct. Find a qualified practitioner near you today!

Sent this lovely lady away with some of my special ear tacks. The pink one is “Shenmen” or a heart point to calm the mind. The green one is a Liver point which helps with stress especially if you’re finding yourself awake at 3am!! 🥰

International cupping day? Never knew there was such a thing 😄 it looks a bit brutal but it’s a very comfortable and effective treatment particularly for very tight muscles but I will also use it for respiratory problems such as chronic chest infections and pleurisy. I offer it as a stand alone treatment but usually in combination with a few needles and massage.

Well, just to say I’m now providing blood tests. I used my partner as a guinea pig with a full blood test. Results were generally good except cholesterol was a bit high. He’s going to try a ‘natural statin’ from Pharmanord & some diet changes. We’ll retest just the cholesterol in 3 months. So no more cheeky late night kebabs dear 😉
