The Best Acupuncturists In London

Acupuncture is a traditional remedy that has been scientifically proven to have positive benefits on health and well-being. The procedure, whilst daunting at first, is surprisingly straightforward. It involves tiny needles being inserted just under the patient’s skin in carefully considered areas to encourage energy flow to specific parts of the body. The area to which the energy is channeled varies depending on the condition or ailment that needs treating, and it has proven to be particularly effective in treating insomnia, anxiety and, perhaps most famously, fertility.

Whatever the reason you’re looking into accupuncture treatment, there are multiple London-based professionals on hand to help. Start with a consultation and then book in for weekly sessions for the first 1 to 6 weeks and monthly or quarterly sessions thereafter.

For Fertility Treatment: Justine Hankin

Specialising in fertility issues, Fulham-based Justine Hankin is the woman to meet if you’re having trouble conceiving and want to do so the natural way. With reviews praising her near-therapist attitude toward clients, her gentle nature, a wealth of knowledge and acute intuition, Justine’s skills not only boast multiple success stories but also come highly recommended by some of the city’s most influential publications.

For Muscle Pain: Kensington Physio and Sports Centre

Health Spa

If you’re suffering from injury or muscular pain, then a Physio and Sports Medicine center is probably the best place to start looking into treatment. Kensington’s offering takes a medical approach to acupuncture and looks for the root of the problem in order to heal it. Practitioners use a technique called Dry Needling which involves needles being inserted into the local tissue as opposed to all over the body in order to directly treat the source of the pain.

For Anti-aging: Kate Winstanley

Much like all the therapists in our hit list, Kate Winstanley is an expert in her field, having appeared on ITV and Channel 4 to talk about the benefits of acupuncture on our general well-being. With practices across west and south London and an ever-growing client base, she is perhaps one of the more widely known acupuncturists the city has to offer. As well as offering the fertility, muscle pain and insomnia treatments that most others do, she also specialises in anti-aging treatments, whereby facial acupuncture is applied as a way of increasing blood circulation, stimulating collagen, tightening muscles and increasing cell regeneration.
