Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a component of Traditional Chinese Medicine and was used as a preventative medicine to balance and harmonise body, mind and spirit.
Chinese Medicine is a complete system in itself, and is complementary to Western medicine.
Treatment is the process of re-establishing the energy balance in the body. It involves the insertion of fine stainless steel needles into specific points in the body to maintain and restore health. Most patients find the treatment very relaxing and many fall asleep during treatment.
It is a powerful therapy which can bring about rapid physical and emotional changes. It is effective in the treatment of acute and chronic pain, gynaecological, respiratory, immune disorders, depression, anxiety, skin conditions, sports injuries and many other problems.
Acupuncture may alleviate many conditions very rapidly; however, some conditions that have arisen over a course of years will be relieved only with slow, steady progress. As in many forms of healing, the patient’s attitude, diet, determination, and lifestyle will affect the outcome of a course of treatment. A number of medical insurance companies cover acupuncture under their policies. Please contact your health insurance company to enquire about your coverage.You can claim back money, if you are with HSA.

Osteopathy
Osteopaths consider each person as an individual. On your first visit the osteopath will spend time taking a detailed medical history, including information about your lifestyle and diet.
Osteopaths use their hands to identify abnormalities in the structure and function of a body, and to assess areas of weakness, tenderness, restriction or strain. By this means, your osteopath will make a full diagnosis and discuss with you the most appropriate treatment plan, estimating the likely number of sessions needed to treat your condition effectively.
Then they work with your body's ability to heal itself, releasing and relaxing muscles and stretching stiff joints, using gentle massage and rhythmic joint movements. The particular range of techniques your osteopath uses will depend on your problem.
The first treatment generally lasts about 1 hour ( to allow for case history taking and diagnosis), and subsequent treatments tend to last around 30 to 40 minutes. Osteopaths also offer added exercise and health advice, to help reduce the symptoms and improve your health and quality of life.
The osteopath should make you feel at ease during your consultation and explain everything that is happening. Do ask questions at any time if you are unsure or have any concerns.
