Moxibustion is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that involves applying heat through burning mugwort near specific acupuncture points. This method may be used as part of an individualised Chinese Medicine treatment plan alongside acupuncture and other therapies.

Electro-Acupuncture

Electro-acupuncture treatments apply mild electrical stimulation to acupuncture needles. This technique may be considered as part of a personalised approach for people with lower back pain, sciatica-related symptoms or muscular discomfort. Your practitioner can explain whether electro-acupuncture may be suitable for you.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy involves placing heated cups on the skin. It may be considered for people seeking Traditional Chinese Medicine support for musculoskeletal discomfort. Your practitioner will discuss whether it is suitable as part of your individual care plan.
