 Japanese Acupuncture Acupuncture is a system of healing which is based on the traditional Chinese philosophy that there are flows of energy within the body. In perfect health the energies flow smoothly. Due to stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, physical/emotional trauma etc, the balance of energy will be upset and ill health will occur. Because Oriental medical theory views the human body as an integral whole it is believed that mental and emotional symptoms may have a physical cause and vice versa. To enable the practitioner to identify the root cause of ill health a thorough diagnosis will be carried out involving a number of questions, examination of the tongue, abdomen and pulse as well as contacting your GP (if necessary and always with your permission). Based upon the diagnosis, a series of points will be selected and disposable needles will be applied.Unlike Chinese and Western medical acupuncturists Japanese acupuncturists use much finer needles, apply needles very often superficially and use gentler techniques which very often results in the patient not feeling anything, which is great news for needle phobic patients and children!!

 OsteopathyOsteopaths look at the relationship between the structure of your body and how well it functions. Your health and well-being depend on your body's joints, with their associated tissues (muscles, tendons, nerves and blood vessels) working smoothly together and supporting each other in good health. Osteopathy can provide effective treatment for: back and neck pain sciatica and trapped nerves joint and muscle pain arthritic pain and stiffness repetitive strain injuries sports injuries headaches Frozen shoulder pregnancy-related pain ...and more Osteopathy is also a philosophy of health. A key principle in osteopathy is that our bodies have the in-built potential to heal. We work with our patients as individuals to remove blocks to healing and restore the body's ability to heal itself. Treatment is often a combination of manual therapy to improve the mobility and tissue health of your joints and muscles and advice on pain relief and other factors that might be contributing to your problem. Osteopaths use manual therapy - touch, physical manipulation, stretching and massage - to improve joint mobility, relieve muscle tension, reduce pain levels and to improve the blood and nerve supply to tissues. Your treatment plan may include self-help strategies for pain relief, advice on posture and exercise and stretching and strengthening exercises if appropriate. Osteopathy can help with: reduced pain levels better mobility a faster return to your everyday life and activities a personal toolkit to help you manage your symptoms while you recover greater body awareness for the future peace of mind and confidence from understanding what is wrong, how to help yourself now, and how to stay healthy in the future Osteopathy at the Wood Green Complementary Health Centre is practiced by Abby Waldman.

Today's fast lane living effects us all – we are all expected to do more mentally and physically - often attained at a high cost with a gradual loss of our ability to relax deeply. Feeling relaxed and unstressed can be very important in maintaining the immune system, which in turn is important in maintaining physical health. While essential oils can be used via baths, lotions, inhalations, vaporisers, shampoos, its most effective medium is through massage. Aromatherapy massage involves massage so makes you feel good. This doesn't have to be a full body massage - relaxing 'stress' areas such as the back, shoulders, face, legs can feel just as powerful as a full body treatment. The aroma of the essential oils can help calm the mind, relax the nervous system and even energise. The combination of touch and the therapeutic benefits of essential oils can induce a sense of balance and wellbeing. Aromatherapy massage can help by improving quality of relaxation, help you sleep more peacefully, and enhance your vitality, helping you to feel fit and healthy. Whilst it is not a replacement for orthodox healthcare it does combine well with other therapies and in professional hands aromatherapy massage does not interfere with medical treatments and will actively support the body's own healing process. .

^Back to the Top^ Nutritional TherapyNutritional therapy is a natural means of optimising a person’s own healing capacity. This is achieved primarily through dietary modification and the use of nutritional supplements. Our Nutritionist aims to find the root cause(s) of health problems. This is accomplished through taking a patient’s medical history and when necessary highly advanced laboratory testing. Once the potential causes have been identified the next step is to put into place a nutritional health program tailored to the patient’s individual needs. Thus, this will help restore the body back to a state of health and optimum wellness. Ultimately the primary role of a nutritional therapist is the education of the patient on the correct food, supplements and lifestyle choices to make. This will enable the patient to take control of their health issues and help in the prevention of future ones. What can nutritional therapy help? It is estimated that food intolerance effects 30-45% of the population. Most common signs and symptoms associated with food intolerance include bloating, constipation, diarrhea, wind, nausea Lungs – wheezing, asthma Skin – itching, acne, eczema Mental – depression, anxiety, mental confusion. Others – arthritis, headache, migraine, rhinitis, weight gain and constipation. This is only an example of what can be treated.
Tests available (these are carried out by specialist laboratories) Allergy/food intolerance tests – F.A.C.T test and YORK test. These tests help to identify problem foods Digestive Analysis This is used to help determine digestive function. Candida This helps identify yeast (candida) overgrowth. Hormone Panel This is used to measure hormone levels and fluctuations. Many other tests are available
Not everyone will need to be tested, but for many people these tests help discover what is causing a variety of health problems and can aid in the treatment of these.Wood Green Complementary Health Centre Practitioner is: Alix WoodsPrice List £50- Initial Consultation £35- Follow up
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture Just as in traditional Acupuncture FRA techniques increases and improves the flow of blood and nutrients in the face. This process tightens the facial muscles resulting in better muscle tone, less facial stress and a more rested, relaxed and younger looking face! How is FRA performed and is it painful? A full case history is taken before the treatment to find out if there are any imbalances in the body. Only sterile, disposable acupuncture needles are used, which are inserted into specific points of the face and on lines around the mouth, the frown line between the eyebrows and laughing lines around the eyes. Fine lines disappear, deep lines soften and dry skin becomes more lustrous. Body points are also added to give a more holistic treatment in order to reduce stress, improve energy etc. As a Japanese style Acupuncturist I use extremely fine needles which reduces the chances of painful insertion of the needles which are retained for about 20minutes. The needles are removed, followed by a gentle facial and foot massage. How many treatments do I need? For optimum results, a course of 6 treatments is recommended followed by monthly or bi-monthly maintenance. The truth is, if you do this regularly, your complexion, skin and general well being will continue to improve. You will know this because you will find that your friends start asking 'What have you been doing? You look great!'
