What it can help with
More than just needles
Acupuncture can change your relationship with your body. While a traditional belief system underpins it, its benefits for pain are also backed by science. It may give short-term relief for:
- migraine and tension headaches
- neck and lower back pain
- osteoarthritis of the knee
- post-operative and dental pain
- jaw (TMD) pain
It’s also deeply relaxing. Acupuncture works best as part of a wider plan that meets your nutritional and lifestyle needs, with testing to check your progress.
Your session
What to expect
Fine, single-use needles
Much finer than injection needles, and often not felt. They stay in for 15 to 50 minutes while you relax. Many people fall asleep.
Safe practice
All treatment follows the BAcC Code of Safe Practice. Wear loose clothing, and take it easy afterwards rather than driving straight home.
Your acupuncturist
Science and care combined
Charmaine studied acupuncture for three years in Asia and has more than 15 years’ experience, alongside a degree in biomedical sciences. She uses acupuncture as part of her functional medicine toolbox, particularly for people with long-standing pain and hormone or gut imbalances.
Western studies show that acupuncture stimulates the nervous system, triggering the release of chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord and brain that change how pain is perceived and support healing.
