Do you suffer from aches and pains, poor health, stress or fertility problems?
Acupuncture can help with a wide range of health problems, because we always work to sort out the cause of the problem, rather than just treating the symptoms. The gentle nature of our treatments makes them suitable for all ages.
The most common conditions treated are:
We always take into account everything that is going on in your life that may be contributing to your particular health problems. We'll ask about your diet, the medication or supplements you take, your lifestyle and workpatterns, stress levels and what exercise you do (or not)!
We may use a combination of acupuncture, nutrition, exercise and lifestyle advice to help restore good health and vitality. Download our free e-book "The Foundations of Good Health" to start you on your journey to better health.

Recent research has confirmed what many of our patients already knew! Acupuncture is very helpful in treating back/joint pain caused by muscles which are in spasm. Tight muscles can pull on the spine, distorting its natural shape and function. Relieving that tension with acupuncture and massage can help the body to return to normal function.
Tim Metford has a particular interest in treating back and joint problems and helping his patients learn how they can alleviate their pain using simple exercises.
Stress is now the no.1 reason for time lost from work, with back pain coming a close second. Lois has written the Stress Solutions programme to help patients understand and recover from stress related illness.
Stress has a tremendous impact on the body, mind and emotions. Treatment is aimed at teaching you ways to overcome stress and support your return to full health.
In 2009 Lois and Tim were pleased to launch their internet based health education resource www.myhealthnetwork.co.uk. The site contains more than 700 pages dedicated to helping you improve your health with comprehensive programmes on stress management, back care, nutrition and a virtual encyclopedia of health information. The site pulls together nearly 40 years experience in alternative healthcare to give you the most reliable, up to date information to help stay healthy.
