Gail Lazarus BAcC

Acupuncture is a system of medicine which restores and maintains health by the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the surface of the body.

Modern research shows that acupuncture can affect most of the body's systems - the nervous system, muscle tone, hormone outputs, circulation, antibody production and allergic response as well as the respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproduction systems.

Back pain & sciatica	Menstrual/menopause

Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture needles are not like those used for blood tests or injections. The needles are much finer and solid. When inserted, the sensation is often described as a tingling or dull ache.

Is it safe?
Gail is a member or the British Acupuncture Council who observes a Code of Safe Practice, this lays down stringent standards of hygiene and requires the use of sterile disposable needles.
