Wrist pain/shooting pain in arm

""I was having pain in my right wrist and I suspect mostly from my work, however, I also had pain in the right collar bone area with shooting pains down my arm. I decided to try Acupuncture to help and Emma was thorough with her consultation and tailor-made my treatment to suit my condition. She also explained what she was going to do, every step of the way.

 I felt relief to the wrist pain within a day. I went back for two follow-up treatments. My wrist pain (which had been bothering me for at least a year), pain in my collar bone and shooting pain down my arm are all gone. It has been over a month since I went and my wrist is great and not struggling when working.

I will definitely try acupuncture again and highly recommend!

Hip pain

Having gone through breast cancer, I was put on a five year course of Tamoxifen. This has caused me to have hip pain – a side effect of the drug. I found that sitting on car journeys my hip would stiffen up and it took me quite a few minutes of limping to ease it up. Sleeping was also a problem. I couldn’t lay on my right side and the pain used to wake me up. I met Emma and discovered she was an acupuncturist. I knew nothing about her field but asked if she thought acupuncture would help me. As acupuncture involves needles I asked my breast care nurse her thoughts as I’m not allowed to have any needles, blood pressure taken on my left arm.  She advised I went to see my GP, who after an examination could see I was in pain and he thought I should have my hip x-rayed just to check things out. The x-ray came back clear so he said he could see no reason why I shouldn’t give acupuncture a try and said to keep an open mind and if it didn’t work he could sort me out with some physiotherapy. All I knew about acupuncture was you had needles put into you. I had a consultation with Emma and she decided on a course of six treatments. After the first treatment I had two days and nights with no pain but it came back. By the fifth treatment I was delighted to be able to tell Emma I had had a whole week with no pain and I was sleeping though the night, it was great! The final treatment showed the same results. I liked Emma’s professional and caring approach throughout the course of treatments. She found lots of chi which is a very strange feeling but not uncomfortable. I would recommend Emma and her treatments to anyone in discomfort.

Scitica

Having just lived a full and active military life, I was settling into a civilian routine when I was struck down by excruciating sciatic pain in my right side; “the pain was making my life a complete living hell”.

My lower right lumber region, my right hip and buttock all the way down to the ankle was riddled with unbearable aching and pain, heaviness and a lot of unexpected cramps in my calf. I tried numerous pain killers, heat rub treatment, different stretches and posture, I even tried to change my daily routine and pattern of life. The heavy “club foot” feeling and pain were making my life a misery; I was getting depressed and frustrated and generally felt my energy levels lowering.

A friend suggested that I “try acupuncture”; I honestly believed that it would all be about state of mind a few pins and “hocus-pocus” healing… “How wrong was I?”

Emma conducted the initial assessment and I soon realised and found out it was not just about pain locality but about other underpinning issues too such as types of food and me as a person; all this may be adding to my problem. Even after the first assessment and throughout my subsequent appointments, Emma explained that if she believed my symptoms would take more than acupuncture alone, she would suggest a medical referral and not waste my time and money… “Can’t say fairer than that”

No one likes pins pushed into them, but with the relaxed atmosphere, Emma’s affable traits and professionalism I felt completely at ease and relaxed about the treatment.

I visited Emma over a set amount of pre-paid sessions and “saved a load of money” I started to “notice a change after the first treatment” with further drastic improvements in daily life from the second session. My pains, cramps and “club foot” feeling all faded to and “got me back to normal life”. Even after my set amount of treatment ended; Emma offered the chance to re-visit as I needed for top up treatment.

“My energy levels are back up” and I feel far happier in myself, I am now back to working with no or very rare minimal twitches. “It feels great”.

I highly recommend Emma and her acupuncture expertise; the whole experience was relaxing, educational and produces the required results…. “Thank you”
