I have received weekly acupuncture sessions for my sciatic pain which came on overnight, hung around for several months, but has now thankfully gone. It was very debilitating, I couldn't sleep, move very much and when I could move, was walking with the aid of a stick. The pain relief medication prescribed didn't work, but acupuncture definitely did. I would recommend this therapy to anyone as it treats the person as a whole and the needles are truly painless. After each treatment I feel more energised and mobile. If you are thinking of giving this treatment a go, I would definitely recommend Alison. I cannot speak too highly of Alison and her extremely kind, understanding and professional manner. She quickly put me at ease and runs her practice from a very relaxing environment. I will continue to use her services going forward.
