Welcome to The Joseph Clinic
ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT CAN BE SOUGHT FOR HELP WITH PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS AND MENTAL HEALTH.
I started my training in Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Institut du Qimetao in Paris, learning the TCM principals and the practice of Qigong,for 2 years. My fascination with the vast knowledge, Chinese medicine holds and its holistic approach, lead me to further my studies, for an other 3 years at the School of 5 Element Acupuncture in London where my particular interest regarding the interaction between body mind and spirit was addressed. This has allowed me to work, with Mental, Emotional distress as well as Physical symptoms with patients.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU COME FOR TREATMENT?
CONSULTATION:
You will have the opportunity to discuss your current health issues, emotional well being, medical history, past and current medication.
It is important for me to gather through our conversation, a holistic picture of yourself. This will allow me to determine the most appropriate treatment for you.
This examination also comprises a short Physical traditional assessment consisting of taking the person`s pulse on both wrists, checking for any abdominal tenderness, measurement of the energetic balance between the right and left side of the body.
I also check the patient`s blood pressure as this will determine if I use moxibustion with the treatment.
FIRST TREATMENT:
Very often it consists of a very superficial needling on different acupuncture points on your back. This is a test as well as a treatment and will reveal if there is a particular form of energy that has become polluted and needs to be gotten rid of. This treatment will allow for this clearing to happen. As this polluted energy clears, the redness around the needles disappears.
I then start working on a specific treatment in relation with the element in you that needs support.
FOLLOW UP SESSIONS:
Although there may be instant relief with a first treatment, acupuncture treats the underlying cause of a disease or dysfunction, it may take a few sessions before you can appreciate the progress taking place. It usually takes a few treatments to "anchor" the positive changes within your body.
As every one is unique and responds differently to treatment, there is no specific rule to how many treatments are required. Sometimes the effects are quite dramatic and only 2 or 3 treatments are needed, while some people may need treatment over several months. It is also usually a good idea once the symptoms are gone to come for a visit once every few months in order to maintain an optimum level of health.
THE FIRST SESSION TAKES 2 HOURS.
FOLLOW UP SESSION USUALLY LAST 1 HOUR
If you wish to see me before committing to a course of treatment, you are very welcome to book a free 15 to 30 minutes informal visit, where you can see the clinic and ask me any question regarding treatment that you may have.
