This is important. Wherever you choose to have acupuncture, be sure your acupuncturist is trained to the highest standards.
The World Health Organisation recommends 3600 hours of education yet some courses provide unregulated qualification with just 96 hours of study and training, likely compromising important safety and referral knowledge as well as all round deep-rooted knowledge of what we do.

40% might seem like a big number but then mental health is a big issue.

Today many of us now realise the toll stress and anxiety can have on us mentally and emotionally and I treat many people for this in my clinics.

But many people don’t realise what the evils of stress and anxiety can also do to us physically - building up inside of us until eventually our bodies ‘spring a leak’, whether in the form of headaches and migraines, shoulder and neck pain, digestive issues or other complaints.

So if on this you think acupuncture might be something to help you there is a link in my bio telling you more about how acupuncture can help mental health, including a recent study by my amazing college .

As part of I’ve only gone and written a blog!

With Migraine Awareness Week upon us is now the time to consider acupuncture to help treat your migraines and headaches?

According to the Migraine Trust more than ten million of us suffer from migraines. However in a survey at our clinics 95% of us are unaware that acupuncture is recommended as a course of treatment by the NHS and NICE.

My blog attempts to demystify how acupuncture can work as well as the research and national guidelines that are out there.

Professor Galloway recognises the rigorous and significant research there now is in support of acupuncture that fails to be recognised without the gargantuan marketing budgets that Big Pharma enjoys.

He also mentions the lack of any side effects of having acupuncture compared to taking some drug and medications.

So if it’s good enough for an experienced medical professional and good enough for the Daily Mail, why don’t you give acupuncture a try ?

That’s right, by far the most common reported short term reaction to acupuncture (79%) is ‘feeling relaxed’, making it an excellent treatment option for stress and anxiety, amongst other health conditions.

The most common reactions in the survey can be considered as positive with ‘energised’ the second most frequent response given (32%).

Of the 9408 people surveyed just 13 said they wouldn’t have acupuncture again!

One of the many good things about being an acupuncturist is the variety of people who come through the door. And the very best thing is when they tell you they are feeling better!
