Hay Fever Relief Berwick

Symptoms such as itchy eyes and nose, nasal congestion and a feeling of a blocked head are all symptoms of sinusitis, which Acupuncture may be able to assist you with.

Recent research has shown Acupuncture can be beneficial¹ to the symptoms associated with Sinusitis and Allergic Rhinitis, I have experience treating the symptoms associated with both seasonal and perennial allergies.

Sinus Relief Berwick

The associated pain of sinusitis can include symptoms such as frontal headaches, a feeling of congestion and post nasal drip leading to a sore throat or cough.  Acupuncture can help with pain management of these associated symptoms.

Pain can come about from many different causes; stress can lead to chronic neck and shoulder pain, which can develop into headaches.  Excessive walking on hard surfaces is a common cause of plantar heel pain (Plantar Fasciitis).

Many of us are stuck working at a desk all day: this can cause pain through the hips and gluteal muscles which can lead to a tight lower back and even sciatica pains.  Tennis elbow pain is commonly seen in my clinic from people doing manual labour.  As we age our knees often develop osteoarthritis which can affect our ability to walk and be active.

These different forms of pain fall into 2 categories in Chinese Medicine, we class them as either “painful bi-syndome” or “Qi and Blood stagnations” depending on where and the type of pain you are experiencing.
