Six ways in which acupuncture can benefit you:

  • Pain Relief: One of the most well-known benefits of acupuncture is its ability to alleviate pain. By stimulating specific points on the body, acupuncture can help release endorphins (natural pain-relieving chemicals) and reduce inflammation, offering relief from various types of pain such as headaches, back pain, and arthritis.
  • Stress Management: Acupuncture has been found to be effective in reducing stress and promoting relaxation. By targeting areas of tension and improving the flow of qi, acupuncture can help calm the mind, reduce anxiety and improve overall mental well-being.
  • Improved Sleep: Acupuncture has been shown to be beneficial for those struggling with sleep disorders such as insomnia. By promoting relaxation and balancing energy levels, acupuncture may help regulate sleep patterns and improve the quality of sleep.
  • Boosted Immune System: By stimulating specific points on the body, acupuncture can enhance the production of white blood cells and strengthen the immune system. This can help protect against illnesses and promote overall health.
  • Improved Digestion: Acupuncture has been found to be beneficial for various digestive issues such as bloating, constipation, and irritable bowel syndrome. By targeting specific points, acupuncture can help regulate digestive functions and improve overall gut health.
  • Overall Wellness: Acupuncture is not just about treating specific ailments; it aims to promote overall wellness and balance within the body. By improving the flow of qi, acupuncture can enhance the body's natural healing abilities and boost general well-being.

I was suffering from sciatic pain. I tried physiotherapy treatment and started a specific exercise regime - but the pain persisted.I then decided to see an osteopath - Anna - who proved to be fantastic.What I like about Anna's approach is that she constantly reconsiders my symptoms, and then selects the most appropiate therapy. She always explains how and why she chooses it.Anna used massage, manipulation and acupuncture with great results. After 4 sessions I am now pain free and I will continue with maintenance treatment to avoid reccurence of my problems.I always enjoy seeing Anna. She listens carefully to feedback , she is positive and has great interpersonal skills.Hava

Just had a first appointment with Anna for a longstanding knee, shoulder and finger issue via a recommendation from a friend which went really well. Pain free in my knee after massage and acupuncture. Would wholeheartedly recommend Anna Hale at the Henley Osteopaths. 👍👍

I have just had my first appointment with Anna and I’m just blown away with how wonderful she is. I’d almost given up hope with this aged decrepit body but she accomplished so much in one treatment I feel amazing and now feel there is an exciting way forward, thank you so much, see you very soon

Fantastic Osteopath. Narrowed in on my 6 month long issue almost immediately and explained all the various connections in my body that were causing my lower back pain. Managed to get acupuncture as part of treatment and feel great relief. Highly recommend Anna!
Response from the owner: Thank you for leaving a review and delighted I can get you back to a pain-free spine and pelvis.Alleviating your lumbar neuropathy by changing tissues by articulation and acupuncture should soon get you back to an easier lifestyle, despite your incredibly long office hours! 👏

Oh my goodness, Anna is a magician!Ive had shoulder pain for 8 months which I thought was a bad strain. Had 6 sessions of physio but nothing changed and I could not move my arm in a circle. Decided to try osteopathy and chose Henley Osteopaths. I nearly cancelled as I thought it was very unlikely to help, after all physio hadnt.Im so glad I didnt. Anna could feel immediately the problem and within 15 minutes I could move my arm all the way around. Nothing more to be said.ALWAYS try osteopathy and dont wait!Thank you Anna

Amazing! I went in with a locked up back that I have had for about 6 months, she did some amazing manipulation and acupuncture… walking out feeling like a new women… couldn’t get myself booked in again quick enough!!!
Response from the owner: It was lovely to meet you today and I’m so glad to see you bounce out with fluid pelvis and spine after such a long period of chronic pain!

Anna is absolutely amazing and such a lovely lady. I have been suffering for back and hip pain for years and couldn’t believe how much better I felt after just one session. I wish I had been to see her years ago.

Anna is a Godsend. She has helped me enormously over the years when I have had various injuries, or niggles. In just a few sessions I feel human again. Thank you Anna!
Response from the owner: Aaaa thanks Frankie! So glad to help your body work towards its optimum and thanks for taking the time to leave me a review!!x

Anna has fixed many problems that I have had over the years - including lower and upper back pain, locked shoulder and migraine headaches. Her holistic approach of looking at the overall person and focussing on the root cause means that a small number of appointments have been required to fix my problems. Anna's usage of osteopathy and acupuncture has in every case enabled me to rapidly get on with life.I have no hesitation in recommending Anna to treat a wide range of problems.

Acupuncture explained

Chinese Medicine

Acupuncture is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, which view the body as a complex system of interconnected energy pathways (meridians) through which qi flows. When this flow of energy is disrupted or blocked, it can lead to illness and other health problems.

Balance & Harmony

The goal of acupuncture is to restore balance and harmony within the body by stimulating specific points along these meridians, thereby promoting the smooth flow of qi (pronounced Chi) and allowing for healing to occur. Acupuncture also takes into consideration the concept of yin and yang, two opposing forces that must remain in balance for optimal health. By targeting specific points on the body, acupuncture aims to restore this balance between yin and yang, leading to improved physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Body & Mind

Additionally, acupuncture believes in the interconnectedness of the body and mind, with emotional and psychological factors playing a role in overall health. Therefore, acupuncture also takes into consideration a person's mental and emotional state when treating their physical symptoms. Overall, acupuncture is based on the belief that by restoring balance within the body and mind, one can achieve optimal health and well-being.

Treatment Summary

Treatment
The practitioner will use gentle manipulation, stretching and massage to help reduce pain and stiffness.
Number Of Visits
In some cases, a single visit may be enough to reduce pain and discomfort. In more severe or long-term conditions, a course of treatments may be necessary to achieve lasting relief.
Rehabilitation
We will also provide advice on lifestyle changes, such as exercise or ways to improve posture, that can help support recovery.
