WelcomeI am an Osteopath and Acupuncturist with over 20 years experience. If you live in the Wolverhampton,Telford or Bridgnorth area and have been suffering lower back pain or neck pain then why not make an appointment to get some pain relief and advice.
In my practice I am able to combine the best approaches from Osteopathy, Acupuncture and Physiotherapy to effectively treat a wide range of conditions. My decision to train in Osteopathy and Acupuncture and complete many courses in Physiotherapy and Orthopaedics, gives you the maximum chance of making a full and lasting recovery from whatever condition you might present with, be it back pain, neck pain, sciatica, nerve entrapment, muscle overstrain or health problems diverse as dizzyness, vertigo, insomnia or facial pain.
When appropriate I am of course equally happy to use a more traditional style of treatment with either Osteopathy or Acupuncture. The importnat thing is to get you on the road to recovery as quickly as possible.
I am NOT simply an Osteopath who uses a bit of Acupuncture as an adjunct to control pain like many Practitioners do who have only completed short courses in Acupuncture. I am a full member of the British Acupuncture Council and trained for three years in Traditional Chinese Acupuncture and it is an integral part of my Practice.
Though I may make suggestions as to what therapy would most likely help you, the decision is entirely yours and I would NOT use Acupuncture if you are scared of needles nor would I use manipulation if you find this a concern.
Most of my patients come to me with specific conditions such as:
- Back and Neck Pain
Disc Ligament and Muscle strains
Sciatica and trapped nerves
Anxiety and insomnia
Dizzyness and vertigo
Facial Pain and Neuralgia
Abdominal discomfort
Headaches
Other typical conditions that people come to me with include upper limb (Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist) and Lower limb (hip, knee and ankle) pain. I can provide effective treatment for conditions such as tennis elbow, shoulder impingement and anterior knee pain by combining my knowledge of Osteopathy and Orthopaedics with Acupuncture treatment.
On the other hand I might use Acupuncture to treat someone with facial pain or Bells palsy OR indeed to help a woman in the latter stages of pregnancy to go into labour!
Many of my patients come to see me without having seen any other therapists. Others come because they have made no progress or have reached a plateau with other therapies such as Physiotherapy and Chiropractic treatment. I have found by using a combined approach of hands on therapy, gentle application of needles and the prescription of exercises I am able to help more people back to health.
You can be reassured that when appropriate I will always organise a quick referral back to a GP or Consultant for further medical tests or explorations such as MRI scans, X-rays or simply to obtain a second opinion. I have very good relationships with local GP's and other medical services in the area.
I currently operate two clinics, one in Bridgnorth and the other in Wolverhampton. You can find contact information and a map for both clinics on the location web page.
