Medical Acupuncture

"Dr Benson helped me with my troublesome hamstring injury, which had been bothering me for 3 years. I could see the results overnight, and now I'm running again."

Acupuncture

Medical acupuncture is similar to Chinese acupuncture, but relies more on anatomy, physiology and neurology to determine sites and origins of pain. As such, it combines the benefits of traditional Chinese acupuncture with modern medical knowledge and scientific research.

I have been providing medical acupuncture for over 30 years. As a practising GP, I pride myself on using my knowledge in combination with acupuncture, as part of an holistic (whole person) approach to healing.

I can offer traditional medical advice as well, including the usual medical treatments and prescriptions, should these be necessary.

I have a number of special interests and additional qualifications: I am a full member of the British Medical Acupuncture Society and have the Diploma of Acupuncture.

I treat the following conditions:

• Pain and spasm - back, neck, migraine, headaches, whiplash, limb pain, shingles pain
• Sports injuries
• Insomnia/anxiety/depression/stress
• Gynaecological and Fertility problems
• Hay fever and allergies
• Irritable bowel / nausea
• Arthritis
• Fatigue
• Eye Conditions
• Wound healing

I am fully covered by most medical insurance companies.

Please
