Christopher Mills : Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine & Laser Therapy

Chris combines individually prescribed acupuncture point prescriptions with Qi Gong Therapy (which is optional but recommended). Qi Gong therapy works on the same principles and theory as Acupuncture and is used to increase the positive outcomes from the treatment.

Acupuncture and Morning Sickness/Nausea - What to expect?
As with all conditions, there are multiple causes as to what causes morning sickness/nausea during pregnancy. Chris will ask questions in order to determine your diagnosis, and write a prescription based on your individual symptoms.
Fewer needles are inserted for pregnancy conditions than standard treatments, and often no sensation is experienced. Only the highest quality needles are used by Chris, meaning a far more pleasant experience for you.

Acupuncture: Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine acupuncture needles into specific locations on the body. The aim of treatment is to stimulate and harmonise the flow of energy (Qi) throughout the body - which then restores a greater sense of health and wellbeing. Acupuncture needles are much finer than regular medical needles and generally insertion is not painful. Most people report an initial tingling sensation followed by a calm and relaxed feeling during the treatment. Acupuncture treatment is very safe, and practitioners at our clinic only ever use single-use, high quality disposable acupuncture needles

Tui Na (Chinese therapeutic massage): Promote health and wellbeing through massage and stimulation of Acupuncture points. In China, Tui Na is also used as a method of curing illness. Tui Na is often combined with acupuncture for the treatment of muscular and skeletal problems, such as lower back pain, or pain due to repetitive strain.

What is Chinese Medicine?

Traditional Chinese Medicine has a history of many thousands of years. TCM aims to treat the underlying causes of the illness as well as alleviating the symptoms. It does this by bringing the body back into balance, which promotes healing. TCM uses different treatment modalities to bring about balance within the body. These include Acupucture, Chinese Herbal Medicine and Tui Na (chinese therapeutic massage).
