Report
Having been diagnosed with a generative disc decided to try alternative medicine rather than take painkillers. Pleased I went to Jemma. After a thorough consultation Jemma assured me that with 4 sessions of acupuncture I would start to see improvements. True to her word and along with excellent procedures I can honestly say I have seen considerable improvement. I have never tried acupuncture before but after this positive experience I would have again and would not hesitate to return to Jemma for treatment. Thoroughly recommend.
