Effective, Drug-Free Pain Relief with Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine

Acupuncture is now becoming increasingly recognised by pain specialists and neurologists as a safe and effective treatment for pain relief. In the UK, NICE guidelines recommend Acupuncture for chronic primary pain, migraines, and tension-type headaches. In the US, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) endorses Acupuncture for cancer pain, while the American Academy of Family Physicians recommends it for low back pain. One of the key reasons doctors recommend Acupuncture is its ability to reduce dependence on opioids and painkillers, offering a natural, long-term solution for managing pain.

How Acupuncture Relieves Pain

Scientific research now shows that Acupuncture works in a number of ways:

• Reducing pain signals sent to the brain

• Regulating neurotransmitters to lower pain sensitivity

• Easing inflammation & muscle tension to target the root cause of pain

This multi-targeted, side-effect-free approach sets Acupuncture apart from other treatments, helping you experience:

• Lower daily pain levels

• Improved mobility & function

• Less reliance on pain medications

• A faster return to normal activities

Conditions Acupuncture Can Help With

• Migraines & tension headaches

• Neck, shoulder & back pain

• Sciatica

• Fibromyalgia

• Trigeminal neuralgia

• Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) jaw pain

Glow Naturally with Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture (FRA)

Experience the benefits of Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture (FRA) - a natural, non-invasive treatment designed to smooth fine lines, enhance skin firmness, and restore a youthful glow.

By gently placing ultra-fine needles into targeted Acupuncture points, we stimulate microcirculation, boost collagen and elastin production, and reduce puffiness and inflammation. This process oxygenates the skin, delivering essential nutrients for a fresher, healthier complexion.

Our approach goes beyond skin-deep. We address underlying health imbalances that may be accelerating the aging process, for example, sleep issues, digestive and gut microbiome problems or high blood pressure. These seemingly innocent imbalances can accumulate and over time collectively age your body and your skin more rapidly. We use the sessions to offer better balance to your system and giving you a 360° holistic transformation—inside and out.

Benefits of Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture

• Smooths fine lines & wrinkles

• Reduces ‘11 lines’ (glabellar lines) & expression lines

Supporting Cancer Patients with Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatments

Every year in the UK, over 385,000 new cancer cases are diagnosed—more than 1,000 every day. Advances in cancer treatment have significantly improved survival rates but more patients than ever now experience debilitating side effects from chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.

How Acupuncture Helps Cancer Patients

While chemotherapy and other treatments effectively target cancer cells, they can also impact healthy cells. This leads to a range of side-effects that disrupt daily life and, in some cases, forces oncologists to reduce or even stop treatment. This is where treatments like Acupuncture can potentially make a difference.

• Reduces treatment side effects – Helps manage nausea, fatigue, brain fog, and peripheral neuropathy.

• Improves energy & well-being – Supports the body’s natural healing processes, reducing exhaustion and sleep disturbances.

• Manages stress & anxiety – Calms the nervous system, promoting relaxation and emotional resilience.

• Enhances treatment tolerance – Some patients find that Acupuncture helps them continue or restart life-saving treatments that were previously intolerable.

Common Cancer Treatment Related Side-Effects We Support

• Hot Flushes & Night Sweats

• Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN)

• Fatigue & Brain Fog

• Nausea & Vomiting

• Stress & Anxiety

• Insomnia & Sleep Issues

• Post-Surgical Pain & Numbness

We have experience supporting cancer patients at The Christie, Mount Vernon, The Royal Marsden in London, and UCH with a range of cancers. Our sessions can be used safely and effectively to complement cancer treatments.
