Heathcote Acupuncture
Supporting your health and wellbeing with Traditional Chinese Acupuncture
Welcome to Heathcote Acupuncture.
Traditional Chinese Acupuncture can be used to treat both acute and chronic conditions. I provide safe and professional treatments that will look to address the symptoms and the root cause of your condition as well as discussing any life style advice that is relevant to you.
I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) which is the UK's leading self-regulatory body for the practice of Acupuncture. When performed by a fully qualified practitioner Acupuncture is safe and has very few side effects. Most people find treatment relaxing and calming.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient tried and tested treatment from China, dating back more than 2500 years. Single-use, sterile needles are inserted carefully into the body at specific points chosen for their therapeutic effect. Once the needles are in place the patient usually rests for about 20 minutes to allow the body time to respond to the messages it is getting.
The BAcC website has lots of information on the many conditions Acupuncture may be beneficial for:
