Treatment Theory
This treatment works through the minimal use of fine needles shallowly inserted at specific locations on the body. Energy is then accessed with the intent of promoting harmony and wellbeing as Qi flows to wherever it is required, bringing about the desired change, working on the levels of Body, Mind and Spirit. In addition, I also think of treatment as regularly experiencing the benefits of a good night's sleep or effects of a relaxing holiday, whereby the body is given space to heal making you feel like 'yourself again'.
Empowering
Once energy starts to flow harmoniously, this can then empower the patient to begin to make more beneficial lifestyle choices for themselves. Similarly, during this time, treatment itself will be further enhanced through the formation of a productive therapeutic partnership with the acupuncturist.
Prevention Better than Cure
When a person’s energy starts to feel in balance, treatment then becomes a matter of prevention rather than cure received in order to remain well, aimed at making adjustments as a kind of maintenance visit.
This is especially beneficial during the change of seasons (related to each of the elements) and to harness the energy present during certain times of year with special relevance to each person.
Long Term
Overall, treatment can therefore go on indefinitely assisting with helping smooth out the natural ups and downs experienced throughout life. With special relevance for the use of this ancient form of medicine being ironically to help combat the ever growing demands of modern living.

Telling Testimonial
I initially visited Andrew to help recover from a broken ankle. Although I had been out of plaster and off crutches for 5 weeks I still felt a reasonable amount of pain and discomfort & was extremely fed up with it.
Andrew recommended 1 session a week for 4 weeks. At the end of the 4 weeks the improvement was tremendous. My ankle had recovered to the extent that I was rarely aware of any discomfort & I was back running.
But of even greater value than the improvement in my ankle was the feeling of general wellbeing and energy.
For anyone who has a stressful working life (and who doesn’t!) one of the biggest assets you can have is good energy levels.
The acupuncture sessions have given me a tremendous improvement in energy levels.
I have also noticed I am moving towards a much healthier work-life balance and no longer wish to do the ridiculously long hours I used to put in.
Since acupuncture is all about rebalancing I can only imagine this stemmed from the sessions. Although I had not mentioned this to Andrew as something I wanted to change I now see how much happier I am for having reduced my working week.
I have had such tremendous benefit from the treatment and will continue having them on a regular basis. For anyone concerned about any pain factor you literally feel a 2 second discomfort. There is certainly no pain.
Kind regards
