What can be treated?

Do you have trouble with periods:

• clots
These problems can be addressed effectively.
Fertility and IVF
IVF has proven to be a wonder of modern medicine and some of the most successful IVF clinics employ acupuncturists to complement their programmes.
It is best to begin acupuncture treatments prior to starting IVF treatment, to strengthen the woman’s systems and help prepare her body for the medical procedures to come.
The goal is for a woman to achieve three trouble free cycles in order for her to be at her peak of fertility before progressing to the next step.
Once a baby is on the way, treatment can help a healthy pregnancy. There are also a range of approaches to induce any overdue pregnancies.
Acupuncture is a very safe form of treatment and it can NOT cause any harm to the child or mother.
Anxiety Issues:
For many reasons people often feel out of sorts. Feelings of deep seated exhaustion, feeling unable to cope with life, lacking their normal interests and drive and very often experiencing a feeling of heaviness in their head. Peace of mind has somehow been lost.
These are just a few examples of what you may be experiencing, and all indicate, in terms of Chinese Medicine, an imbalance of your constitutional energies.
Your feelings will be listened to and treatment will aim to bring you back to your normal self so you can engage in life more positively.
