Since qualifying in 2011, Trevor offers the following forms of acupuncture:

​

Orthopaedic Acupuncture

​

A form of classical acupuncture which focuses on the managment of neuro-musculoskeletal problems.  This treatment includes the use of the ' Chinese meridian system' to help the body to self heal.

​

Techniques include needle insertion, needle manipulation, electro-acupunture, moxabustion and Chinese cupping.

​

This is different from Traditional Chinese Acupuncture as a musculoskeletal screnning is used rather than face, pulse and tongue diagnosis.  If you require systemic Acupunturist, Trevor can refer you to practitioners in Central London.

​

Dry Needling (Intra Muscular Stimulation)  

​​

This is a western approach used to treat musculoskeletal pain, including myofascial pain syndrome.  This follows an anotomical basis to treat tight muscle tissue, known as 'knots' or 'trigger points'.

​

​

All treatments use very thin sterile single use pins to treat areas enabling relaxation of the nervous and muscular systems which may be over stimulated as a result of injury or imbalance.

​

Both approaches have been found beneficial for a range of musculoskeletal problems such as chronic pain, myofascial pain syndrome and muscular pain.

​

This can be integrated into your osteopathic treatment if needed and you feel comfortable, your wishes are always respected.  This can also be offered as a stand alone treatment upon request. 

​

Trevor has attended advanced training with leading authorities in the treatment of myofascial pain including Simeon Niel-Asher and Dr Bob Gerwin (MD).
