Sessions cost £55 for 45 minutes.
I commonly treat conditions such as chronic pain, lower back pain, chronic headaches, or the pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee. There are over 1000 recommendations for treatment of more than 100 conditions, in practice guidelines across 30 countries. You are welcome to call me about your specific complaint, or you can read my Conditions Treated page.
Weekly sessions are usually offered to begin with. I might suggest five or six depending on your condition, after which we will review progress & decide what to do next.
You can call me on 01392 424276 between 8.00am and 6.00pm Mondays to Thursdays. You won’t have to speak to a receptionist – you’ll speak to me, so if there’s anything medical you would like to discuss at this stage, you are welcome to do so.
Duryard Valley Clinic, 5 High Croft, Exeter EX4 4JQ. You will find me on the edge of Exeter University main campus, between Birks Grange and Duryard Halls. You can see detailed directions here.
I always encourage patients to tell their GP, and GPs in turn are usually keen to hear of other treatments which their patients have found helpful.
Acupuncture is very safe when performed by a properly qualified professional (1,2,3,4). The Professional Standards Authority recommends seeking treatment from a professional on an accredited register such as the British Acupuncture Council. This is a quality mark for the highest standards of training, safe practice and conduct.
