Due to advertising guidelines complementary health practitioners are restricted from being specific about conditions they treat, although in a typical day acupuncturists would see patients with a wide range of ailments from asthma through to insomnia and menopausal symptoms. Many older people have degenerative joint conditions and arthritis and find that acupuncture is beneficial. Throughout the years I have treated teenagers struggling with exams resulting in anxiety and stress, physical problems such as headaches and migraines, sports injuries caused by their competitive natures. Young adults benefit if they have any kind of hormone problems such as acne or period problems. For young people treatment times are quicker as the condition has not yet become chronic.

Whilst living through stressful life circumstances ... marriage breakdown, difficult divorce ... Acupuncture helped me regain my confidence and inner strength to move on from difficult times and remain balanced. ML, Southwell
Acupuncture is a natural treatment that can be used by all ages. Many women find it helpful during and after pregnancy but it can also be useful for children and the elderly.
It's a great treatment to relax and calm you at times when you are feeling stressed and anxious.
