Acupuncture Treatments
Our acupuncture treatments use ultra-fine needles to stimulate specific points along the body's meridians. This traditional Chinese medicine technique helps restore energy flow and promote natural healing. Each session lasts 45-60 minutes in our multi-bed clinic environment, allowing patients to receive quality care at reduced costs while maintaining privacy through treatment partitions.
Sliding Scale Pricing
We implement a sliding scale fee structure ranging from 20 to 60 per session. This community-based model allows patients to pay according to their means, with higher payments supporting those who can only afford the minimum rate. No income verification is required, relying instead on patient integrity to maintain accessibility for all.
Chronic Pain Management
Our practitioners specialise in treating chronic pain conditions including back problems, arthritis, and sports injuries. Acupuncture stimulates the body's natural pain-relief mechanisms through targeted needle placement. Patients often experience significant improvement after ten sessions, with treatment plans tailored to individual needs and medical history.
Mental Health Support
Acupuncture addresses mental health concerns by restoring balance to the body's energy flow. Our treatments help manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related conditions through a combination of needle therapy and holistic assessment. The communal treatment environment fosters a supportive atmosphere for emotional healing alongside physical recovery.
Fertility Acupuncture
We offer specialised acupuncture treatments to enhance fertility and support reproductive health. For women, sessions focus on improving ovarian function and uterine blood flow. Men benefit from treatments that enhance sperm quality. Many patients combine our services with IVF programs, receiving targeted support throughout pregnancy and postnatal recovery.

Acupuncture effectively treats over 100 conditions including chronic pain, mental health issues, fertility problems, and digestive disorders. Our practitioners address both symptoms and root causes through traditional Chinese medicine techniques.
How does the sliding scale pricing work?
Treatment fees range from £20 to £60. We trust patients to pay according to their means without income verification. Higher payments support our ability to treat those with limited financial resources.
What happens during a first visit?
New patients complete a health questionnaire, followed by tongue and pulse diagnosis. The practitioner creates a treatment plan during your initial 45-60 minute session, with privacy maintained through treatment partitions.
Are the practitioners qualified?
All practitioners are certified members of the Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine, maintaining high standards of training, ethics, and continued professional development.
How often should I attend treatments?
Most patients benefit from weekly sessions initially, with significant improvements typically seen after ten treatments. Chronic conditions may require longer-term care tailored to individual progress.

Wear loose clothing that can be rolled above elbows and knees. Blankets are provided for coverage during treatment, and no undressing is required for most sessions.
