Case Studies

Mrs M - Sciatica: This patient presented with sciatic pain of sufficient intensity to disturb her sleep patterns, and cause severe discomfort at her place of work, which required prolonged periods of sitting at a computer. Within 2 weeks she was able to sleep right through the night, with the pain resolved completely after 8 visits. During her visits she also complained of constipation, have always gone 2-3 days in between motions for several years. She now benefits from daily movements. During the late spring, she suffered from hay fever - a single treatment resolved this for her.

Mrs H - Chronic Backpain: A retired widow who had suffered chronic back pain for many years. Using a recently developed technique I was able to give her instant pain relief within minutes of starting treatment. Weekly visits are holding her pain at bay whilst a permanent solution is being developed.

Mrs Y - Polycystic Overies & fertility: This patient had been trying to conceive, but was diagnosed with PCOS. After 3 months of weekly treatments, she was able to conceive. I continued to treat her throughout pregnancy to keep her in optimum condition - the result was a healthy baby boy!

Miss J - Eczema: This 11 year old girl had suffered with eczema for 6 years before coming to my clinic. The itchiness kept her awake at night, depriving her of sleep which was affecting her school performance. With a combination of acupuncture and Chinese dietary advice, 95% of her symptoms disappeared. Continued attention to avoiding the wrong foods enables her to keep it at bay.

Mr H - alcoholic binging: This young man had turned to alcohol after the loss of his brother. After 6 treatments focused on his emotional issues, he was able to let go of his unresolved issues and start to focus on the future. He now has a new life and career in Spain.

Miss P - Neck pain, numbness and weakness in arms Having suffered whiplash injuries from 2 successive "rear enders", this patient was unable to lift her arms high, suffered numbness & tingling, struggled to carry anything but the lightest of bags and even wearing a heavy coat was a burden. Within 5 treatments she had regained sufficient mobility to start swimming again after 6 years.

Miss T - severe headaches, stress and anguish: A final year medical student under intense pressure to perform was having severe headaches caused by the stress she was under. The stress was causing severe tension in her neck and shoulder muscles which in turn exacerbated the headaches. Treatment focused on making her mentally stronger to cope with the stress, whilst relieving the impacted muscles with cupping therapy. She would always book the last appointment for the day in order to get more time for the cupping which was such a relief for her!
