Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture stimulates the nervous system to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and restore bodily balance. By inserting fine needles at specific points, we alleviate chronic pain, migraines, and stress-related conditions. This evidence-based practice combines traditional Chinese techniques with modern medical understanding, offering drug-free relief for arthritis, sciatica, and fibromyalgia. Patients report enhanced energy levels and improved sleep after sessions.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Customised herbal prescriptions target individual health imbalances using time-tested botanical combinations. Our practitioners formulate remedies for digestive issues, skin disorders, and hormonal imbalances, avoiding generic solutions. Patients receive tailored teas, capsules, or topical applications addressing root causes like inflammation or immune dysfunction. This approach effectively manages chronic conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome and menopausal symptoms.
Pulse Diagnosis
Our experts use advanced pulse diagnostic techniques to identify subtle energy imbalances undetectable through conventional methods. By analysing 28 distinct pulse qualities, we create precise treatment plans addressing hidden health issues. This diagnostic tool guides herbal prescriptions and acupuncture point selection, particularly effective for complex cases like chronic fatigue and unexplained infertility.
Nutritional Therapy
We provide practical advice on adopting anti-inflammatory diets tailored to individual needs. Patients learn to optimise nutrient intake through whole foods, addressing deficiencies that contribute to chronic illness. This approach complements other treatments for conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders. Educational sessions focus on sustainable lifestyle changes rather than restrictive dieting.
Medical Massage
Therapeutic massage techniques stimulate acupuncture points and meridians to relieve muscle tension and improve circulation. This hands-on treatment addresses sports injuries, neck pain, and stress-related disorders through targeted pressure application. Sessions promote relaxation while addressing structural imbalances, often combined with cupping therapy for enhanced detoxification and pain relief.

I had a fall and twisted my left ankle during football training 10 days a ago. Unfortunately could not get to see a NHS physio due to covid, so I contacted Dr. Jade in Hanley Chinese Medicine centre. I explained the constant pain I was in, booked an initial appointment and never looked back. She was great and very informative. Acupuncture worked straight away that the pain & swelling have gone down after 1 session. I can't thank her enough. If I could rate six stars, I would !!! Thank again Jade...

Excellent caring service
I was in absolute agony with plantar pain and called Jade in tears, where I was given an emergency appointment that day, which I was feeling so grateful of. After my initial assessment, I then had treatment over a short period of time. The treatment I was given was excellent, and has enabled me to get my life back on track free of pain. The clinic is clean and COVID secure. I will certainly be going back to Jade for any pain relief

Diagnosed Menopausal condition by my GP 3 months ago, Ive decided to try Acupuncture and herbal remedies rather than HRT. And Jade/Hanley Chinese Medicine Centre came highly recommended. Clinic safety standards are excellent especially through the COVID times. Dr Jade as an acupuncture therapist was professional and knowledgeable in handling my condition. I started to feel the benefit from the Acupuncture sessions within days, like improved sleep, less hot flushes, tiredness and body aches, reduced anxiety and mood swings... would definitely recommend Jade to anyone.
