Testimonials

I suffer from a recurring neck/shoulder problem and have received acupuncture treatment from Caroline, periodically, over the last 3 years. Whilst initially sceptical and having tried other treatments to alleviate the pain, I can say without doubt that acupuncture works. Caroline Haigh is very professional and the atmosphere is very relaxed and welcoming.

Having been diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy three weeks earlier, (no, I’d never heard of it either) both my GP and the NHS physiotherapist that I was referred to had warned me to expect continued facial paralyse for up to six months and possibly beyond. Almost immediately after starting a twice weekly acupuncture programme at the clinic, I experienced significant and clearly noticeable improvement. After another three weeks I was able to close my left eye and do away with the eye patch. My Physio’s mouth literally fell open when I showed him the progress I was making at our next scheduled appointment, resulting in me being ‘discharged’ from the NHS outpatient system. Based on my own experience, the impact on improving recovery time from Bell’s Palsy through acupuncture is clear. However, I’m also convinced that the broader experience that I received at this particular clinic helped me manage the emotional effects of the condition, through Caroline’s professional but very personal approach to treatment, and giving me regular points within my week to proactively do something to help my recovery
