Acupuncture

 

Acupuncture is a relatively painless and deeply relaxing experience when practised by a licensed and well-trained professional. The stainless steel needles are single-use, hair-thin and should feel almost imperceptible when inserted.

​

Both the National Institutes of Health and the World Health Organisation have recognised the benefits of acupuncture in treating a wide variety of conditions, including:


Acupuncture is also effectively used to treat pain, including:

  • low back pain

  • sciatica

  • post op hip replacement support

  • frozen shoulder

  • knee pain

  • ankle/foot pain (including plantar fasciitis).


For more information, including clinical studies, see the WHO’s own review here.

 


What Happens at Your First Acupuncture Treatment with Larissa

​

We begin by discussing your treatment goals and medical history. This is followed by the classic ‘ten questions’ regarding your condition and overall health. Finally, we will measure your pulse and inspect your tongue.


Your main course of treatment may include the use of acupuncture, Chinese herbs, moxabustion, cupping, lasers, electro-stim and therapeutic yoga poses.

Testimonials

“Larissa helped my husband and I overcome our fertility issues and now we have a beautiful little boy.  We will be back for help with number 2!”

JL St Albans

I started seeing Larissa for anxiety and insomnia. Her treatments helped me so much. Now I have the tools to be able to calm myself down as she taught me some yogic breathing exercises. I really feel like my life is on the mend. Larissa has such a nice calm way of helping. I always leave her office calm and grounded.

CB St Albans

“Going through IVF treatments was so stressful and tiring.  Larissa’s acupuncture treatments were so calming during such a difficult time. Now I’m pregnant and am so grateful for her help.”
