How Can Acupuncture Help You?

The biggest challenge today is to prevent disease in the first place. It is proven that chronic stress is the biggest killer of our times. Perhaps one of the main benefits of TCM acupuncture is it’s stress relieving effects on the body. Once the initial needling is complete, many find the treatment very relaxing and calming on the body and a helpful tool for relieving stress and anxiety on a more long term basis. Acupuncture is an excellent natural tool for encouraging good health.

TCM acupuncture effectively treats the root causes of disharmony as well as the manifesting symptoms unlike many medical treatments which just treat your symptoms.

This unique type of approach can pave the way to a more enduring resolution to your condition.

Many individuals turn to acupuncture for help with very specific personal symptoms. Scientific studies have proven unequivocally that acupuncture effectively treats conditions such as nausea, vomiting and Dental pain. Pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee and pain from tension-type headaches are also effectively treated with acupuncture.

What to expect during your treatment

Acupuncture has been proven to be a safe and effective treatment for these unwanted ailments. Furthermore, it safely and effectively works alongside Western medicine and is suitable for people of all ages.

Acupuncture can also help people who have sought medical advice but are unable to obtain a definitive diagnosis for their symptoms. For example a person feeling fatigued and depleted of energy on a regular basis or unwell and prone to infections could benefit from acupuncture.

Modern day medicine has come so far but slowly, slowly our medical professionals of today are seeing the benefits of using different tools for our health and realising the necessity to refer back to the wisdom of the ancient.

Some of the conditions that Martine and Natalie have had the opportunity to help patients with during their years of practice thus far are: headaches, migraine, depression, anxiety, back pain, tennis elbow, insomnia, arthritis, IBS, morning sickness and nausea, infertility and gynecological disorders and many more.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Martine and Natalie (who I see for natural acupuncture) at Sutherland House highly enough.
Throughout my fertility and IVF journey, they have been through my side and have begun to feel more like friends than a service.
What I love about their approach to acupuncture is how they take the time to really understand my personal situation each week and then adapt my treatment accordingly - it's never a one size fits all. They also explain every needle and how it will benefit me (and when to expect a zinger!).
Overall, my experience couldn't have been better and I guarantee you won't find better acupuncturists in London!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After multiple abdominal and pelvic surgeries, including an emergency open surgery for complete intestine obstruction due to adhesions, I was left with more internal adhesions that were gradually getting tighter and moving me towards complete obstruction of my intestines once again. I was told by the hospital the only option was further surgery and what looked like a never ending merry go round of surgery only leading to more adhesions. I felt hopeless and very scared, I was in intense pain whenever I ate due to these adhesions, had severe complex PTSD from relational and medical trauma and chronic fatigue syndrome which often left me unable to move. I was debilitated and told there was nothing that could be done for any of it by the hospital.

I am so thankful to have found Sutherland House when I did and their support quite literally saved my life. The staff at Sutherland House are all very lovely and there is always a peaceful and welcoming feeling at the clinic and when arranging appointments. When I first met Eva and Judith I had been living in survival mode for so many years I was extremely intense and tearful, yet they remained calm, patient and supportive as they took the time to fully understand my situation. Eva and Judith with their training in clear passage and frequency specific microcurrent were able to release the adhesions over the course of only a few weeks so that I once again could eat and digest food without unbearable stabbing pains. I was also able to stand up straight properly rather than being pulled forwards and down by the adhesion bonds. I also had frequency specific microcurrent for PTSD and this course of treatment left my nervous system much calmer.

In trying to find solutions to alleviate my chronic fatigue I discovered treatments to power up the body's mitochondria which I discovered becomes exhausted from chronic stress. I told Eva about my success with this treatment and she took the time to explore the wider research and its effectiveness and trained in it herself. I found that upper cervical chiropractic managed to be the missing piece to completely resolve my chronic fatigue. I did not realize that a previous head injury actually caused a neck misalignment which had been disrupting nervous system flow through my brain stem and is where the deterioration of my health likely began. Eva once again showed great interest in hearing of this. She is extremely passionate about resolving problems and seeing the big picture, and I admire her constant willingness to grow the practice to support complex cases like mine that are left by mainstream medicine feeling they have nowhere to turn.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my treatment done by Acupuncturists Natalie and Martine, because of my pre-menopausal symptoms. They were very professional and knowledgeable, they worked together through the session. I even fell asleep during the treatment, that's how relaxed I was! I would highly recommend to see the girls as they are so caring and helpful. Thank you, I will definitely be back!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Eva is a wonderful physio and between her and FSM my various ailments have either disappeared or been greatly reduced. She has treated me for back and ear problems as well as general well being and it’s wonderful to know that there is such a knowledgeable physio I can count on to treat any issue that arises. The practice is full of friendly faces who go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and valued.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A lovely kind and responsive practice. Eva and FSM have changed my life very much for the better. After 20 years of chronic fatigue and illness Eva has worked wonders and being able to use FSM at home too has been enormously helpful. My fibromyalgia is massively improved as is my pain and I am able to do gentle pilates ( for hypermobiles) constructively and am much stronger .I have tried chiropractic, osteopathy , cranial work, acupuncture and physiotherapy consistently for many years but this has really unwound my holding patterns.
