Westfield Acupuncture

I have trained in Western Medical Acupuncture with the British Medical Acupuncture Society (BMAS); prior to this I worked as a hospital doctor for fifteen years, specialising in anaesthesia. I believe that acupuncture can have an important and exciting role to play in integrated health care today. Having both experienced acupuncture myself and treated patients using acupuncture, I am convinced of the positive effects and benefits that it can have. My principal interest is the use of acupuncture as a treatment that can be used to relieve the pain associated with muscular and joint problems.

However, acupuncture can also be used to treat the symptoms of a variety of other painful and non-painful conditions. It is essential that you are reassured that your acupuncture practitioner is appropriately qualified and can adequately assess the benefits and possible side-effects of using acupuncture for your specific problem.
