SERVICES
AFFORDABLE ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture in the UK is usually offered on a one-to-one basis and can cost anything from £35-£60 per treatment, taking it out of many people’s reach. At Community Acupuncture two people are treated together, in the same room, meaning that the cost of treatments can be cut. Making acupuncture more affordable means that people can continue treatment for as long as necessary so that they can make real health gains. Privacy is ensured with the use of screens and people speak in low voices, with soft music in the background. The atmosphere is quiet, calm and healing.
Treatment costs at Community Acupuncture Midsomer Norton:
Follow-up appointments cost £20 (or £15 if you are on benefits). The first consultation is conducted in private and costs £35.
Community Acupuncture Midsomer Norton is run by Pandora Pound and is a member of The Association of Community and Multibed Acupuncture Clinics, an umbrella group of acupuncturists aiming to make this effective treatment more accessible to people. Pandora is a member of the British Acupuncture Council.
CONDITIONS TREATED
Traditional acupuncture is an ancient, holistic system of healing that has been practised in China and other Eastern countries for over 2,500 years. It is a gentle, safe and effective way of restoring and maintaining health and is increasingly recognised as beneficial for a very wide range of conditions.
The sort of conditions that Pandora treats with acupuncture include headaches and migraines, fatigue, stress, anxiety, depression, painful joints, back pain, tennis elbow, frozen shoulder, sciatica, IBS, hayfever, high blood pressure and urinary problems such as cystitis.
She also treats women with painful or irregular periods, women having a difficult menopause, pregnant women suffering with nausea and couples who are aiming to increase their fertility.
FERTILITY
Acupuncture is an excellent way of increasing fertility, either as a stand alone treatment or alongside IVF. Many research studies suggest that it increases the changes of conception and live birth. Additionally, acupuncture helps to reduce any adverse effects of the drug regimen as well as to lessen the stress often associated with IVF.
WELLBEING
Acupuncture does not just treat symptoms. Its focus is on the individual and on strengthening their constitution. Consequently people having acupuncture often report feeling better ‘in themselves’, for example in terms of increased energy and improved sleep. Acupuncture aims to balance all aspects of a person; not just the physical, but the mental and emotional aspects too.
