Five Element Acupuncture helps you regain your health, vitality and sense of well being. It aims to treat the roots cause of illness and disease. Our symptoms are like the tip of an iceberg, signals that all is not well within us. Your symptoms might be quite general, like lack of energy and drive, or very specific, such as localised pain or infertility.
People come to five element acupuncturists with a wide variety of problems from asthma to arthritis, back pain to bulimia, depression to diarrhoea, insomnia to irritability, headache to heartache. Long standing conditions that have not responded to other forms of medicine, ones that we may have come to ignore or put up with, can clear up in the course of treatment. The central importance of the patient - practitioner relationship means that I can devote time and care to each patient and their individual needs. The first session is an in depth consultation to get to know you, covering past, and present medical history, circumstances and lifestyle, and a physical examination. A typical treatment lasts 45-60 minutes. We review your progress and discuss today's needs so that treatment is tailored to your individual situation. In this form of acupuncture, very fine needles are inserted delicately into selected points on the body, and quickly removed with minimal discomfort.
