Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncturist, have many tools to use and not just needles. Depending on your symptoms and TCM diagnosis, some of the below maybe used during your treatment and will be explain before used.

Most acupuncture points are used on the lower legs and arms, to save you getting undressed I would suggest to wear loose fitted clothing so your lower legs can be exposed. If not, it's no problem and a towel can be place over your lap. Some patients like to wear a pair of shorts.

Fine Sterile

Single Use Needles

Acupuncture needles are as fine as your hair and gently part the skin. Very different to injection needles, not large and hollow. I use Dong Bang high-quality surgical stainless steel acupuncture needles, silicone coated for your comfort.

Needles are retained for 20 minutes and to complete your treatment with four 'Five Element' acupuncture points.

Electro

For chronic musculoskeletal conditions reducing pain through the release of endorphins and serotonin, promotes tissue healing and increasing blood flow.

A gentle treatment, feeling of warmth which increases blood flow and reducing inflammation.

Smokless

Moxa Stick

Often used for joint pain, blood nourishing points or to warm cold patterns.

We light the moxa stick, hover over specific points to create a gentle heat.

Moving in a circular motion or pecking up and down.

Cupping

Massage

Often we use cupping to help reduce muscle tension, with immediate and lasting affect. The skin is drawn into the cups, increasing circulation into the muscles fibres.

Cupping is used for:

Acute or chronic back pain
Chronic shoulder stiffness
Clearing trauma, from an old injury
Asthma / Hay fever
Common cold. Helps to prevent the cold going deeper into the body

Auricular Acupuncture

In acupuncture the ear is regarded as a mini map of the body. There are over two hundred acupuncture points on the outer ear alone, which correspond to different parts of the body.

Placing needles in these acupuncture points can help specific conditions directly corresponding to parts of the body.

Ear Magnets

Easily applied to the surface of the ear with adhesive tape, onto specific points. Gold or silver plated magnetic balls.

The magnets rest on the point, to stimulate the acupuncture point to continue the treatment.

Gua Sha

Direct method of stimulating the meridians. It's focus to move Qi & Blood, improving the micro circulation to the area being treated.

Using a Jade Gua-sha tool to gently brush over the skin, expelling Pathogenic Factors & bringing out colour onto the skin showing us the location of the problem. The darker the colour the better. the reaction.

Tui-Na

Massage

Tui-Na massage works along the Channel to balance the flow of Qi.

To help promote the smooth flow or to help Tonify Qi to strengthen certain areas.

Mind and Body Balance

You don't have to have something wrong with you to have Acupuncture, it can be part of a wellness program on a monthly, quarterly or whenever you feel necessary.

Stress

The signs of stress can vary from one individual to the next. Stress has physical, behavioral and emotional effects on our health and well-being. In general, acupuncture is believed to stimulate the nervous system and cause the release of neurochemical messenger molecules. The resulting biochemical changes influence the body’s homeostatic mechanisms, thus promoting physical and emotional well-being. Factors that affect stress levels include work, alcohol, smoking, exams, pregnancy, divorce, moving, death in the family, lifestyle, drugs, poor nutrition and unemployment. Acupuncture can help to support you through these challenging times.

IBS

Do you suffer from bloating, pain, acid reflux? Are your stools loose, alternating or are you constipated? This treatment can help to regulate your stools and reduce bloating, pain and acid reflux.

Anxiety & Depression

Five Elements Acupuncture is fantastic for emotional imbalances and understands different peoples needs. Acupuncture can also support you, if you're reducing your medication with the guidance of your doctor.

Muscular & Skeletal

Acupuncture can help with any aches and pains in the joints and muscular tension. Everyone's pain is slightly different and what makes your pain different? When is the pain at its worst? What type of pain do you have? Stabbing, dull, achy? Is it constant or does it come and go? Is it better or worse with movement?

Balance My Cycle

Is your period painful, heavy or light flow, cycle too short or long, affecting your mood feeling angry, snappy or tearful? To get the most from your treatment, I would recommend you monitor your cycle it should be around 28 days, with the first day of your period being day 1 and see around which day of your cycle is affecting you the most. We can plan your monthly treatment around your bad time of the month to balance your cycle. Also suitable for teenage girls of menstrual age, PCOS and Endometriosis helping to regulate hormones and cycle.
