Acupuncture Clinics Leicestershire

Acupuncture is a safe and effective practice, which can be used alongside conventional medicine in the treatment of acute and chronic conditions. Some people may choose to have acupuncture as a preventative measure to strengthen their constitution, or because they feel unwell in themselves without being ill in the Western sense. Traditional acupuncture is an ancient Chinese system of healing which enables a person to achieve a more balanced physical and emotional state. Its philosophy is that in good health there is a continuous smooth flow of energy (Qi or Chi) through channels within the body. Illnesses, injury or emotional stress can disturb the smooth flow of Qi, leading to range of symptoms and often the loss of a sense of well-being. The acupuncturist aims to balance the flow of Qi by inserting fine needles into specific points on the body. A person receiving acupuncture will often report both an improvement in symptoms and an increased sense of well-being. As with any therapy, the response to acupuncture can vary from one person to another.

Chiropractic is a straight forward method of adjusting the bones of your body to improve the alignment of your skeleton, and through this process help the nervous system to work more efficiently. The purpose of chiropractic care is to realign and rebalance your body to relieve pain and discomfort, and increase mobility. A misalignment of the joints can occur for many reasons; some of the most common are incorrect lifting, car or sporting accidents, falls, stress, and poor posture. This can lead to pain, numbness, pins and needles, or restricted mobility.The McTimoney method of chiropractic was developed by the late John McTimoney over 50 years ago and is taught only at the McTimoney College of Chiropractic in Abingdon, near Oxford. It is well known for being a precise, whole body approach to chiropractic care. The gentle nature of the McTimoney method makes it especially suitable for people of all ages. Improving the Health of the NationMcTimoney chiropractic has helped thousands of people for over 50 years and around 150,000 new patients consult a McTimoney Chiropractor each year. Over 8000 people are cared for by McTimoney Chiropractors each working day. UK members of the McTimoney Chiropractic Association are registered with the General Chiropractic Council.

Chiropractic is a treatment which focuses on reducing your back pain at the source of the problem.Chiropractic can be used safely and effectively for people from all age groups with both short and long term conditions. The causes of these conditions are many and varied, perhaps you have injured yourself taking exercise or playing sport, or perhaps you have ‘overdone it’ in the garden. You could have bent over and picked something up awkwardly or taken a bump in the car. Alternatively you may just be feeling stiff and uncomfortable from years of sitting at the office desk – however it began we are here to help you.

There is a great misconception that the bones that make up your spine can go out of place, but this is actually quite rare. Back pain may often seem to happen suddenly for no obvious reason but this out of the blue pain is usually the end result of what has been a very gradual deterioration in the alignment and control you have over your spine. Maintaining the correct alignment of your spine is a task performed from moment to moment by your nervous system on a sub-conscious level, in the same way that your heart is kept automatically beating or you drive a car without thinking about it. Occasionally though it becomes overwhelmed, often by poor driving and needs to be re-aligned.Chiropractic adjustment of the spine is particularly effective because we make adjustments to release locked states and stimulate the control centres within your spine to allow them to get back to maintaining the correct joint alignment. Chiropractic adjustments are what we call dose-dependant with the effects building over time with each session. Much like going on a diet or going to the gym takes time to have a lasting effect.
