What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is the use of needles to treat pain. The needles stimulate nerve endings and the brain to release endorphins – pain relieving chemicals. The therapist will feel for tender ‘trigger’ points in the tissues under your skin. There are approximately 500 such points which, if stimulated with needles, may affect how certain organs work.

The number of needles inserted depends on the condition and could be up to 12 at a time. The sensation when the needle goes in can be described as a tingling or dull ache. The length of time that a needle is inserted for depends on the condition being treated; between 10-30 minutes.

It can be used to treat:

  • Anxiety, Depression and Insomnia
  • Digestive Problems such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Ulcerative Colitis, Constipation, Diarrhoea
  • Menstrual Problems such as Painful Periods, PMS, PCOS, Menopausal Problems
  • Fertility and Infertility (for both men and women)
  • Pregnancy Conditions – Morning Sickness, Back Pain, Insomnia, Breech Position, Induction of Labour, Labour Pain
  • Post Natal Conditions such as Mastitis, Post Natal Depression, Milk Let-down
  • Musculoskeletal Conditions such as Backache, Neck and Shoulder Pain
  • Sports Injuries
  • Asthma, Hayfever, Sinusitis, Coughs and Sore Throats
  • Gynaecological Conditions

Amazing clinic! The staff is beyond lovely and took very good care of me. I had six sessions of shockwave therapy with Raj and it was the only thing that did the trick with my stubborn plantar fasciitis. I'm extremely grateful, and would 100% recommend.

I've been going to Premila for therapeutic massage, as I am suffering from chronic fatigue made worse by insomnia. Premila is amazing - she takes a very holistic, intuitive approach as well as being highly professional, identifying issues like poor circulation and muscle knots. The hour I spend with her is like gold dust! I cannot recommend her too highly.

I have been having treatment at Wellbeing Centres Crouch Hill for the past year and couldn't recommend this clinic more highly! I've recently had a therapeutic massage with Premila and my back and shoulders felt so much more relaxed after. She was extremely professional and I felt at ease during the treatment. I will definitely be booking in regular massages with her and am looking forward to my next appointment!

I am so pleased with my treatment at this clinic. I have had pain in my sacro-iliac joint for over two years, and expected only to learn how not to make it worse. Raj diagnosed the cause, and the exercises I've been doing, and the treatments, have made a huge difference over the space of a few weeks.
