welcome to health plus acupuncture clinic south woodford covered by buckhurst Hill

Acupuncture has been used for more than 3000 years and is an ancient Chinese medical system that treats your body in a holistic way. Acupuncture provides a complete treatment system combining physical and emotional factors in the prevention and promotion of health.

An Acupuncture treatment consists of the insertion of disposable needles at specific points on the body. Acupuncture needles are very fine and bear no resemblance to an injection or blood test. There can be a sensation of tingling, warmth, numbness or heaviness at the insertion point but most patients find that there is no discomfort. Adjunctive therapies, such as massage (Tui Na), cupping, electro-stimulation and heat lamps, may be used.

Single use sterile, disposable needles are only used at Health Plus Clinics.

Tui Na - Chinese massage

This is like acupuncture without the needles. Pre-dating acupuncture it is one of the earliest forms of therapeutic massage. Based on the diagnostic framework of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tui Na is effective at relieving a wide range of common health problems. Because Tui na massage can be very relaxing, it is particularly useful for stress related condition. Like other forms of massage it can be used preventatively, to encourage the movement of Qi (vital energy) and Blood. In most of my treatments I will use a combination of Tui Na and Acupuncture.
