Acupuncture: Conny Duxbury

Conny qualified in acupuncture after a 3-year course at the London College of Traditional Acupuncture, where she is now a module co-ordinator and lecturer. She is a member of the British Acupuncture Council and adheres to their high standards of professionalism and hygiene.

Conny enjoys working with people holistically, and uses Chinese Medicine as a system to bring together the physical, mental and emotional dimensions of a person’s health and well-being. While the treatments themselves are very powerful and often turning points in the patient’s health, she also believes that a large part of the healing process comes from the connection between patient and practitioner. The treatment room is therefore a space where you can bring in any issue you think might be relevant.

Conny also believes in bringing together the deeper principles of Chinese Medicine with the insights of Western medicine. She is used to liaising with Western medical practitioners, and has practised at the Pain Clinic of the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, working closely with Dr Anthony Ordman and the medical team there.

What is acupuncture?
Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture is a complete system of medicine that has been developed and refined in China for over 2000 years. Today, it is still used extensively in the East for a wide variety of conditions. It continues to be one of the main treatment methods in Chinese hospitals, alongside Western medicine.

In the West, acupuncture is increasingly gaining recognition, as more and more clinical trials are proving its effectiveness. It is officially recognised by the NHS, which furthermore describes it as a non-invasive form of treatment with no side-effects.

An acupuncture session always starts with a consultation, to ensure that the treatment is tailored to how you are feeling on that specific day. The first consultation is always longest, as the full medical history needs to be taken into account, subsequent ones will be shorter.

The acupuncture treatment itself consists of the insertion of very fine needles at specific points, usually on the lower legs and forearms. You may experience a mild sensation, which usually disappears very quickly, while the needles are inserted. Many people experience profound relaxation and a deep sense of calm during the treatment.

What does acupuncture treat?
As a complete system of medicine, acupuncture understands and treats the root causes of disease. Its success comes from its ability to not only treat specific conditions, but to address any underlying imbalances in the body which have led to those conditions.

Acupuncture treatments can therefore have a profound impact on general health, including metabolism, hormonal balance, nervous system, general energy levels and emotional states.

Examples of specific conditions that can be treated with acupuncture are listed below. However, its uses are much broader than can be explained here. If you would like to discuss a condition not listed, please feel free to contact Conny:
