Welcome to Robert James Powell
About Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a complete system of medicine, tried and tested over thousands of years. It is straightforward yet extremely effective.
The theory of Acupuncture is that illness is caused by an imbalance in the way the body, and mind, are working.
This imbalance may be caused by physical factors - such as diet, too much or too little work/exercise, or an accident - or psychological influences like stress, mental overwork, or strong emotions such as worry, fear or grief.
These influences upset the equilibrium of the body and/or mind and lead to illness. These illnesses can range from:

In fact most ailments respond well to Acupuncture treatment.
Research published in the British Medical Journal concluded that Acupuncture is one of the safest medical treatments, conventional or complementary, available in the UK today.
Many leading Health Insurance companies recognise Acupuncture as a valid treatment and will reimburse fees paid for the treatment
About me
You may, or may not, have heard of the various styles of Acupuncture, principally 5-element, TCM, and Japanese Acupuncture. They vary slightly but all have their roots in traditional Chinese Acupuncture dating back thousands of years.
I have been in practice for over 25 years, and have trained in all 3 major styles of Acupuncture. In that time I have also built up a wealth of practical experience. What all of this means is that in the clinic I am able to pick the best treatment approach for each individual patient.
For example, the Japanese style of Acupuncture uses ultra-fine needles and a very delicate needling technique. It also teaches that ' Less is More ', so that often very few points need to be treated. This makes it a very gentle yet extremely effective treatment, producing impressive results with very successful outcomes. For these reasons this is the style I use most often with my patients. I can, and do, also incorporate the other styles to maximise treatment effectiveness when appropriate
I am a founder member of the British Acupuncture Council ( B.Ac.C. ), the lead organisation representing professional Acupuncture practitioners in the country. The B.Ac.C. ensures that all of its members are trained to the highest professional standards in both practice and conduct. Members are fully covered by public liability insurance.
