Name of Therapy: Acupuncture and Tui Na Massage
Name of Therapist Michaela Storer BA(hons), Lic Ac, MBAcC.
Description of therapy
Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into acupuncture points which lie on channels of energy (meridians), that form the energetic matrix of our body. This has the effect of stimulating the Qi (pronounced 'Chee') within the meridians to facilitate the body's healing response.
A bit about me
Specific conditions treatable
Acupuncture can treat just about anything, because it makes your body "the best it can be" which in turn helps to facilitate the bodies own natural healing response. Thus reducing symptoms and promoting a greater feeling of emotional and spiritual well being.
This type of acupuncture is especially suited to any chronic (long term) condition.
Acupuncture is also a good compliment to western medicine, so if you are on quite a lot of medication that is causing some unwanted side effects, acupuncture may be useful.
Please ask me how acupuncture can help you.
What happens in a session?
Firstly, you will be asked some questions about your health and the problems you would like help with.
I will then look to look at your tongue and take your pulses (in Chinese medicine we look for certain qualities or deficiencies over your radial pulse).
Your blood pressure will be taken and maybe some palpation will be done depending on what conditions are being treated.
I will then make a diagnosis and discuss treatment options.
If time permits in the first session I may start treatment straight away with your permission.
There are not usually any adverse reactions to acupuncture, but you are advised to have eaten something on the day of your treatment.
Side effects include: risk of infection (although this has never happened to one of my patients so far) localised bruising.
I use very small needles and adopt a very gentle approach to treatment, this is particularly suitable for nervous patients.
