Richard Lamb M B C. c.eAcupuncture is an ancient medicine for modern times.
As a tried and tested holistic approach to health that has been practised and refined for centuries in China and the Far East, Traditional Chinese Medicine has developed to give us a thorough and detailed understanding of the body's energetic balance.
Treating conditions from the root
A symptom is our body's way of communicating that something is wrong. Like taking the batteries out of a smoke alarm instead of addressing the fire, it's often easier to take a pill than discover what is at the root of a condition.
To improve our health we need to correct our deeper conditions and imbalances, focusing our attention on what is causing our symptoms.
Health through natural balance
An important concept in Traditional Chinese medicine is an energy called Qi which flows along pathways in the body called meridians. For each person and organ of the body there is a balance of Qi for optimal health. If a persons Qi is unbalanced or the flow along meridians is blocked then illness will occur.
Acupuncture works to restore health by helping the body find its natural balance.

Treating conditions from the root
Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on the root cause of a condition and aids us to correct imbalances within our body and thus our health is improved.
Pain Conditions
Life is just not as much fun when you're in pain. Acupuncture relieves pain by removing what blocks energy from flowing freely.
Psycological Conditions
Wellness is where mind and body are in sync - allowing your energy to flow freely, conditions of stagnation and depletion of Qi are eliminated.
Digestive Conditions
Acupuncture can be used to treat many digestive problems, such as those of the intestines, acidity, food sensitivities and hormonal imbalances.
Women's
Health
Traditional Chinese Medicine practices have been used for thousands of years to support women's health and as an aid in fertility treatments.
Respiritory Conditions
Stagnation or inadequacy of Qi in the Lung Network can lead to respiratory problems such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.
Inflamatory Conditions
Modern research has shown that stimulation of Acupuncture points activates the release of analgesic and anti-inflammatory hormones.

Finally relief from pinched nerve my in shoulder.
A compressed nerve in my shoulder had been bothering me for weeks. Previously nothing I'd done had worked, massage, hot baths, anti-inflammatories, stretching etc. I had one 15 minute cupping treatment with Richard and immediately felt a noticeable improvement and within 3 days the pain was almost entirely gone.

Treating with Acupuncture
Acupuncture used alone or in combination with other complementary or conventional treatments can be beneficial to patients with a wide range of health concerns. It has been used in China for more than 2,000 years to help maintain good health, promote well-being and to treat illness.
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine are based on the principal of Qi, an energy flow, which flows along twelve defined pathways in the body, called meridians. The organs of the body in concert together make Qi blood and other substances, which supply the meridians and blood systems to bring life to the body and mind. Acupuncture is used to reestablish proper flow of Qi and blood and promote a healthy balance within the organs of the body.
During an Acupuncture treatment, sterile disposable needles are placed on selected points on these meridians. The Acupuncture needles are hair-thin, solid and made of stainless steel. The needles are typically placed just below the skin's surface and stay in place for between 1 and 20 minutes; however, this may vary depending what the treatment is designed to achieve . Most patients only experience a brief sensation of discomfort as the needle is initially placed. Many patients experience a pleasant feeling of relaxation and may even fall asleep for the rest of the treatment.
After treatment some changes may be observed almost immediately but more usually will take a couple of days to happen. In most cases a few treatments are needed to see improvement particularly where the body mind is exhausted. Sometimes a slight aggravation of symptoms may occur for a few days as the body mind is stimulated to do the task of throwing off illness, after which a clear feeling of wellbeing can emerge.
