Have you checked to see if you have used up all the extra benefits in your health insurance?

Depending on your policy, you may be entitled to money back on complementary therapies like acupuncture. But these benefits often don’t roll over so not using them up before the end of the year can mean you miss out on value built into your policy.

But it’s not too late to book your next appointment to help de-stress and calm the mind, soothe away bodily aches and pains, sort out your sleep and get ready for the holidays and new year.

All our services can be booked by phone 0864059898, message, email or online at

There's A Lot More Going On as well as Acupuncture…

Do you know that there are now 5 therapists offering a wide variety of services at Rory Ryan Acupuncture?

From Massage, Reiki, Counselling, Sports Rehabilitation, Pain Management, Maderotheraphy Massage and more there is a treatment here for you…

Maderotherapy Massage

Also known as wood therapy, this technique originates from ancient healing practices and has been refined into a modern wellness treatment that promotes both body contouring and deep relaxation. Using specially designed wooden tools, this massage helps to stimulate the body’s lymphatic system, circulation and cell regeneration, break down localised fat and cellulite, sculpt the silhouette, improve skin tone and improve overall wellbeing.

During a maderotherapy session, Joann uses a series of wooden rollers, cups, and sculpting tools in rhythmic movements over the body. The result is a firmer, smoother, more sculpted appearance, supporting both physical and emotional wellbeing.

Reiki

In your Reiki sessions, experience the profound benefits, including stress reduction, improved sleep, enhanced energy flow, increased immune function, mental clarity, spiritual connection, and support during life transitions.

By tapping into your body’s natural healing abilities, Gillian will help you find harmony, nurture your overall health, and ignite your journey of self-discovery.

If you’re a man who lives with migraine, then you’re in good company, both modern and historically. Some of the most famous people in the world lived/live with migraine, e.g.
• Julius Caesar (Roman Consul and Dictator),
• Lewis Carroll (Author of Alice in Wonderland),
• Elvis Presley (King of R & R),
• Tony Cascarino (Irish Soccer player),
• Paul Scholes (former soccer player for a certain team that is not Liverpool YNWA 😉)
• Ben Affleck (yes Batfleck),
• Hugh Jackman, (aka Wolverine)
The point is, no one would call any of these men weak, so why would you consider yourself, or another man weak if he went to the doctor about his migraine?
Men, go to your doctor and teach your sons that it’s okay to do this too!

Typically, people that come to me for help with neck or back pain fall into two categories:

The person has been in pain since a trauma or over exertion within the last 6 months. Scans , medical reports and other diagnoses may point to bulging or herniated discs, trapped nerves, spasm of muscles, bursitis, myofascial pain syndrome or compartment syndrome. There may be pain radiating down the arm or leg, sometimes numbness or pins and needles.

The second category is a person that has been suffering for a longer time, sometimes years of dealing with the dragging, achy soreness that occasionally flares up with sharp, crippling pain. Again, numbness, loss of motor control and pins and needles may also occur.

As acupuncturists, we have etched deep in the brain, a system of channels over the body. These channels follow nerves, blood vessels, the lymph system, muscle groups and are simply another lens to look at the body through.

To take a simple view of it - pain occurs when one of these channels gets blocked - just like pressure building up behind a dam. We use acupuncture to release these blockages and restore the normal flow in the channel. Numbness occurs when the flow is too low in a part of the channel - just like the mouth of a river when the tide is out. Here we are using acupuncture to increase the flow.

The majority of my patients report feeling much better, (often saying things like the pain is 70% less) within the first two weeks of treatment. And with the right treatment plan in place, patients usually find themselves living practically pain free within a couple of short months.

What is acupuncture treatment for back pain and sciatica like?

Depending on which points we use, the patient will either lie down on a large massage table or sit in a reclining armchair. It’s a great idea for patients to wear a loose vest top and bring loose trousers or shorts so that they can remain fully clothed for the treatment. Of course, we have plenty of blankets if needed.

The treatments themselves are aimed at soothing and retraining the nervous system, rebalancing the body and reducing muscle and fascia tensions - all of which allows the body to begin healing itself. We achieve this by using very thin, fine needles at specific points on the body. There can sometimes be a slight pinch when the needles are inserted, but I make sure to remind all my patients that the treatment is not supposed to hurt and to let me know if anything is uncomfortable so I can tweak anything needed.

With everything in place, the patient is allowed to relax for between 20 and 45 minutes - depending on the diagnosis.
