I'm scared of needles and syringes, however the ones they were using were only very short and they are also very thin. The needles were intended for my ears.

Prices vary depending on treatment but it's good value for money- I paid £45 to relieve my neck and shoulder pain but have continued to get help with my mental health, hormone balancing and general wellbeing. Having had a really bad experience with a physio acupuncturist I cautiously approached this practice as it offered traditional five elements acupuncture as well as western symptom relief. Jon is an extremely well trained and knowledgeable acupuncturist. He explains things in as much detail as you like. I personally ask him loads of questions which he's always patiently happy to answer! Anyone nervous about trying acupuncture would soon find it impossible to not just relax and smile here as you really are put at ease from the outset. Oh and it works!
