Dr Alexander has been practicing acupuncture for over 20 years initially training in Sri Lanka and China gaining the WHO Diploma in Acupuncture. She was a council member of the British Medical Acupuncture Society and has recently resigned as a part-time GP Principal to do more acupuncture research.

Some conditions suitable for treatment:-

• Neck Pain
• Back Pain
• Sciatica
• Frozen Shoulder
• Arthritis
• Headaches or Migraine
• Facial Pain / Trigeminal Neuralgia
• Allergies inc. Hay Fever / Asthma / Eczema
• Stress / Anxiety
• Menopausal Symptoms
• Stroke
• Fibromyalgia

Fine needles are inserted using a combined traditional / western approach followed by electro-acupuncture and manipulation if necessary. Massage is available on site which can complement the acupuncture.

We have two new thermo-electromagnetic lamps which Dr. Alexander saw being used in Chinese clinics last year, to be used with needles - these penetrate deeper than infra-red lamps and there have already been some excellent results.

We also have a powerful new laser machine for laser acupuncture which is totally painless, penetrates to a depth of 2 inches and is very good at treating frozen shoulder (this has been proven in a clinical trial at Manchester University). It is also useful for Achilles tendonitis and any other tendon or muscle problem. Treatments are part of a research project so the charge is only £20.
