Acupuncture has helped me from time to time with the pain in my shoulders. The pain goes for about 2 months after having a few treatments. When I first had acupuncture I had been in a great deal of
pain for about 7 months, within 2 weeks of my first treatment I was almost pain free and had regained 70% of the movement of my shoulder.
I had no prior experience of acupuncture and found Andrew's calm and professional approach very reassuring. My condition has greatly improved during the treatment and monthly appointments have become
part of my health and wellbeing routine. I would definitely recomment the treatment.
Thank you.
Having received Acupuncture with Andrew at the NHS Pain clinic for
approximately seven years until it ceased in December 2013 I have
continued with the treatment at his private clinic in Chelmsford. He
treats my neck and lower back - I have had steroid injections at the
Pain Clinic which give great relief for a good period of time, so
coupled with the Acupuncture I have a much improved quality of life, so
different to the restricted lifestyle before. I would unreservedly
recommend Andrew's treatment.

My experience of acupuncture is very good.
The treatment has helped me with the pain in my lower back due to Sciatica the pain which goes down my leg
I have been very much improved since i had acupuncture every 6 to 8 weeks
Yours faithfully.

I have been a client for many years. Andrew provides a very caring, professional service and has helped me significantly. I was very sceptical at first but acupuncture compliments treatment from my
GP and I benefit from this combined approach. I know acupuncture works for me and am very grateful to Andrew for his care.
I was referred to Andrew in 2001 by the NHS Pain Clinic at Bromfield Hospital. I ruptured a disc in my lower back in 1999 and after several months of physiotherapy and a regime of strong analgesia
there was very little improvement. The consultant at the Pain Clinic referred me for acupuncture. After a few treatments the improvement to mobility and the reduction in pain was wonderful.
I continued with regular treatments until the cessation of the clinic in late 2013. The treatment I had received was far too valuable to stop so I continue to have my acupuncture at his clinic in
Chelmsford.
Andrew you change lives!!
Acupuncture has made a great difference in regulating my menstrual cycles with pcos. It has also helped with relaxation and stress whilst going through fertility treatment and I would recommend
anyone going through the same to give it a try
Many thanks,Andrew,for your gentle care and attention in treating my
neck and shoulder problems for several years now.
Acupuncture has made a great deal of difference to my life and I can
highly recommend this treatment.
Thank you so much to Andrew for helping me out with my blocked ears. I
have tried numerous different methods and with no help from my GP I have
suffered with it for a couple of years but I finally seem to be making
headway with Andrew. Andrew is very helpful and makes you instantly feel
relaxed. I would definitely recommend acupuncture with Andrew it is so
worth it

Andrew is always my first port of call for all health problems. He has got me through pain, stress and bereavement.

Having suffered back problems through Osteoarthritis for over twenty years, leading to lengthy periods off work, I had reached the stage where I was taking regular doses of pain killers. After being
referred to the Pain Clinic at Broomfield Hospital, I was prescribed morphine patches and placed on the waiting list for acupuncture.
Andrew first treated me through the N.H.S. and after three or four sessions I was able to come off the morphine patches completely. Although at times I still made use of a 'Tens' machine and
occasional pain killers, within six months I required nothing other than the acupuncture (approximately every six to eight weeks) and this has been the case now for over three years.
When the acupuncture service was terminated by the N.H.S. I continued treatment privately through Andrew's clinic in Chelmsford and remain drug free as a consequence.

Hi Andrew
I would just like to say thank you once again for your care and attention afforded to me for my recent complaint.
Having been dismissed from the GP's with pain relief medication and cream, both of which were not really the long term solution, I was fortunate enough to be recommended to you. You correctly
identified the 'nerve root' of the problem and within two treatments, symptoms began to ease and seem to be getting better each day. I can only but highly recommend you and acupuncture to anyone else
who is at point of not knowing what else to do regarding persistent pain. Thank you once again.
