Background  |  Who can benefit?  |  What to expect at a treatment

Outside China and the Far East acupuncture is usually known for its treatment of chronic problems, but it is also particularly effective in treating acute and painful disorders, infectious diseases, and substance addiction. Acupuncturists are trained to recognise disease often long before the patient is aware of any illness. They are therefore concerned not only with treating illness, but also preventing it.

There are no restrictions as to who can receive treatment. Babies and children can be treated simply and effectively. Women can be treated for any complications of pregnancy without causing any harm to the mother or baby. Acupuncture can be combined with conventional drug therapy, or can be used to gradually eliminate dependence on drugs for chronic conditions. There are many diseases which are commonly treated with acupuncture.

Sarah's special interests include fertility issues (male and female), disorders of pregnancy, gynaecological disorders and mental/emotional issues.
