Treatment Explained
The following is the procedure carried out for each series of treatments:
1) The first appointment will last up to 2 hours and ¾ of this time will be taken up in consultation. This provides you with a rare opportunity to talk openly at length in a caring, non-judgemental environment about your presenting issues.
(All information received is treated with the strictest of confidence)
For the remaining ½ hour a routine physical diagnosis will be carried out involving both Western and Eastern safe, non-invasive techniques whilst you relax upon the couch.
2) The second treatment (usually 1 week later) lasts approximately 1 ½ hours and generally for less than half of this time you will need to sit upright on the couch (or lean on the back of a chair if unable).
Needles will then be shallowly inserted in your back and left until removed. This acts as a kind of cleansing or detox treatment, creating a secure foundation on which all others are based.
3) Treatments thereafter will last up to 1 hour where you will mainly lie down with needles removed almost once inserted.
4) Initially appointments will be every week for up to 5 weeks before being spaced apart to every 2 and 3 weeks. It is then common for treatments to go on indefinitely every month as a top-up visit, once a balance becomes established.
(Further explanation of all treatments and a pre/aftercare leaflet, will be provided before being carried out)

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
