Feeling really fired up having completed the second weekend learning from Thomas Wernicke the Japanese art of Shonishin! It was also a real treat to spend a weekend away from the kids in Oxford with Charlotte Johnston.

Shonishin is a Gentle non-insertion style of acupuncture used to treat babies and small children or more sensitive children who arn't able to have needles. "Shonishin" in Japanese means "Children's needle therapy". We learnt about the energetic development in babies and children, how to support trauma at different ages and stages and also how to support smooth development of the spine and the meridians through suitable baby carrying and handling and much more. I wish I had known some of this information for my own children but am equally looking forward to supporting mums and babies in the clinic with these new tools.

THINKING OF TRYING ACUPUNCTURE?

As more people experience first-hand the benefits of acupuncture, it is being increasingly recognised as a valid and effective treatment for a range conditions. Treatment is designed to affect the whole body not just your symptoms, so whatever the particular problem, you may notice other general health improvements and niggling complaints disappearing with a course of treatment.

Some people chose acupuncture when they feel their body is out of balance, but they have no obvious diagnosis. Once tried, many people have regular or ‘top-up ‘ treatments because they find it so beneficial and relaxing. For some conditions such as migraine regular treatment can prevent flare-ups from occurring. Another benefit of acupuncture is it can be given alongside other therapies and/or medications, in almost all circumstances.

Some common reasons to see an acupuncturist:

Headaches
Chronic pain
Women’s health issues - including menstruation and menopause
Fertility and Pregnancy support
Children’s health
Anxiety

Evidence that acupuncture works:

There is a growing body of research that demonstrate the effectiveness of acupuncture for many conditions including: tension headaches, migraines, neck or back pain, osteoarthritis of the knee and temporomandibular joint pain.

Here is a video produced by the British Acupuncture Council which highlights the evidence base for acupuncture.

Acupuncture is currently included in the NICE guidelines for chronic pain and headaches. Further information about the research for specific conditions is available on the following platforms:
