Brompton Acupuncture

Gabrielle Stephenson practices integrated Chinese Medicine, combining the two schools of acupuncture; Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and the Five Element style. Five Element Constitutional Acupuncture is a form of practice that treats the patient's deepest constitutional imbalance. TCM treats patterns as well as acute imbalances. This combination allows the treatment of a wide range of conditions, both chronic and acute - tailored to each individual's needs.

The fundamental principle of Chinese Medicine is to restore balance of mind and body, re-establishing order to system malfunction, treating both the cause of disease and the manifesting symptoms and/or pain. As treatment is aimed at the root cause of the condition as well as the symptoms, a more permanent solution to the problem can be found. As a holistic approach to medicine and treatment, acupuncture does not solely focus on the indicated problem, but the entire body and mind as an integrated health system.
