Acupuncture
Restore harmony and balance to your life
About Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the longest established forms of healthcare in the world. Whilst often associated with pain relief, the acupuncture we practice at Magnolia can be extremely effective in helping individuals with a variety of emotional, mental and physical issues. It takes a holistic approach, and treats you as a whole as opposed to focusing solely on the presenting issue.
​
Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncturists are trained to use subtle diagnostic techniques that have been developed and refined for thousands of years.
​
What makes this system so uniquely suited to modern life is that physical, emotional and mental are seen as interdependent, and reflect what many people perceive as the connection between the different aspects their lives.

The kinds of issues that are regularly seen in practice include...
​
Musculoskeletal problems: back and joint pains, sports injuries and sciatica
Digestive Issues: nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, IBS
Neurological: headaches, migrane, bells palsy, neuralgia
Mental/emotional: depression, anxiety, stress, poor memory

The Experience
Our private Acupuncture consultation room
Your first treatment (initial consultation) will be an informal discussion regarding your medical history and details of your main complaint and any other health complaints you may have. This can be time consuming, but it is essential for the correct traditional diagnosis. It will take approx 90 minutes and you will receive your first acupuncture treatment on this occasion. You will be talked through the entire process to put you at complete ease.
​
The follow up treatment and any future treatments will include a brief discussion and then your acupuncture treatment. The routine treatment will take between 45 mins and one hour.
​
Acupuncture is not a one-off treatment and it is recommended to have at least four treatments. A realistic estimate of how often you will need to be seen and the number of treatments you will need will be given to you and any questions answered.
