Female mid 40's

Severe lower abdominal pain after a hysterectomy

This lady presented with acute lower abdominal pain after her hysterectomy op. She was extremely sceptical about acupuncture but had been recommended to me by a friend and was willing to give it a go. She had no pain after the first treatment but insisted to continue the treatment for 2 months before she was sure that the pain had gone. She is now no longer a sceptic and has told her consultant about what acupuncture has done for her.

Female late 20's

Advanced Crohn's Disease

This patient was a Physiotherapist who had already had part of her bowel removed due to the severity of the disease. Her bowels were active approximately 20 times per day and her abdomen produced constant, loud digestive sounds which were very embarrassing for her. Although very nervous she had decided to embark on a course of acupuncture with me as I had been recommended to her by a friend that I had also treated.

Within the first 2 treatments the patients bowels were back to normal, one movement a day. She felt a lot better with more energy and confidence and her abdominal noises had disappeared.

Female Early 30's

Constant severe burning in the urethra

This patient was a healthy female who had suffered for over a year with this painful condition. Her GP and consultant urologist could only offer pain relief drugs that had caused her side effects. The patient found it incredibly uncomfortable to sit down due to the pain and was also suffering from mild depression and insomnia. The patient said that she could not stand it any more.

During the first acupuncture treatment the pain in her Urethra disappeared, the patient  couldn't believe how quickly she felt better.

Infertility treatment

Severe case of Bells Palsy.

This patient presented with distinctly distorted facial appearance on the right hand side of her face. She had been diagnosed by her GP as suffering from Bells Palsy ( a condition involving the deterioration of facial nerves in the facial tissue).

I treated the patient twice with facial and distal acupuncture which completely cured the condition just in time for the patient to go on holiday.

Male early 50's

Hip pain and groin pain, stress, acne rosacea, back pain & tennis elbow.

This patient was referred to me by one of my existing patients. He had a long list of painful conditions made worse by his very stressful job. Over a period of 6 treatments he has come off all medication, can play golf again (impossible due to hip pain prior to treatment). He now sleeps better, is more relaxed and copes with his work better. He continues to come for treatment because he finds it enjoyable and relaxing even though his symptoms have disappeared.

Female mid 20's

Severe lumbar back pain

This patient was referred to me by an Osteopath who had been treating her weekly for 6 months, the treatment giving some improvement. I treated the patient with electro- acupuncture which had a dramatic effect on the pain with one treatment. She cancelled her second appointment saying "there was no point as she was now completely cured and in no pain".

Man early 30's

Sperm count 2%, incapable of fertilising

This man approached me with his wife and told me that his sperm count was too low (2%) and his sperm could not swim causing them to be incapable of fertilising. He and his wife had arranged IVF treatment and asked if I could try to improve his sperm quality otherwise the IVF had little chance of working.

I treated the man and his wife in order to ensure both were in good health for the IVF. After 3 treatments on the man and 5 on the woman the IVF was successful as his sperm had improved. This happy couple are now expecting their first child.

Woman in her 60's

Arthritic hands and hip pain

This lady came to see me with her sister as she could not travel alone because her hands were so painful and she had to use a stick to support herself. Her sister had to help her around the house as she could not wash up or peel vegetables etc.

After 3 treatments the ladies hands are now OK, she can wash up and prepare food. She occasionally uses her stick but her hip pain is almost gone. She is much happier and continues to see me on a regular basis for top up treatments.
