Headache pain is exactly that – a giant headache. Factors can vary, but stress is a major contributor.

Some people suffer headaches for years and do not know that acupuncture has a strong reputation for being very effective on headaches.

Acupuncture is recognised by NICE to treat headaches including tension headaches and migraines.

Long shifts and stressful days cannot help with those who suffer from headaches. Come and see us- we are very experienced with treating headaches and happy to help.

We created this service for our NHS.

The knock-on effects to some CV sufferers are now becoming clear- around 20% of people infected are ending up with long term side effects a combination of brain fog, muscle aches, headaches, and severe fatigue

amongst the symptoms. These can be debilitating and as this is such a new disease – difficult to find answers for.

We have been seeing a few patients with long-tail Covid and they have said it has made a huge difference to their recovery after months of feeling depleted.

If you are an NHS staffer who thinks you might not have entirely recovered from Covid- give us a try.

Acupuncturists have a lot of options to treat different symptoms.

Acupuncture treatments for frontline NHS staff affected by Covid-19.

In Brighton, a group of eight BAcC acupuncturists, most of whom knew each other before and some of whom had worked together in multi-bed clinics, quickly came together wanting to offer our services. We have worked extremely hard over the past six weeks, have learnt a great deal about Safe Practice and PPE and feel excited that now, with insurance cover in place, and lovely clinic rooms to treat from, we are in a place to start.

Our first clinic will be on Tuesday 9th June and we will be offering 32 appointments per week.

Tuesday: 2 - 6pm Wednesday: 2 - 6pm Thursday 9am - 6pm Friday 9am-1pm

We already have quite a few patients booked in and have had immediate interest from the Trusts we have approached.
