About acupuncture
Acupuncture in York
Sylvia Schroer Lic. Ac., MBAcC, Kanpo, PhD (Health Sciences), BSc Hons (Psych), MSc (Complementary Therapy Studies).
 Acupuncture is being increasingly accepted, both by the medical establishment and the general public, as an effective and safe way of treating a wide range of conditions. There are many different styles of practice. I am trained in five different approaches and am one of a small number of practitioners in the North of England to be qualified in the Toyohari acupuncture. This gentle approach, which emphasises touch, was developed in Japan where acupuncture has been uniquely influenced by its four-hundred year old tradition of blind acupuncture practitioners.
A Toyohari acupuncture treatment is a calming and relaxing experience and aims to optimise your health and well-being. Correct diagnosis is vital. This is done by identifying imbalances - through visual observation, asking relevant questions, taking the pulse and gentle palpation of the abdomen and meridians or channels of ki or qi, which lie on the body's surface. Treatment involves the use of silver but also stainless steel fine needles which are placed on particular acupuncture points to affect the flow of ki. Rarely do the needles penetrate the skin, making this a pain-free treatment and one that is suitable for children.
No matter what your specific health problem, acupuncture can potentially be of benefit and is especially worth considering if conventional medicine has not helped.
I have had clinical success in working with people with many different types of health problem:
Mental health problems such as depression and anxiety.
Physical health problems that involve pain, eg arthritis, back pain, stiff neck and shoulders.
Chronic health problems particularly where the immune system is affected e.g. chronic fatigue, auto immune problems including Crohn's disease, and allergies such as hayfever.
Digestive problems such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Gynacological problems such as endometriosis, painful periods, irregular menstruation, and menopausal issues.
Male and female infertility.
Health problems of the elderly - I worked in a project for the over sixties for many years (The Hoxton Health Group).
Supporting people with cancer and serious illness.
A typical acupuncture session takes 45-60 minutes but the first session may be longer - allow 90 minutes. Costs: Initial session £50, follow up treatment £35. Reduced fees for those on low income. Free 30 minute consultation to discuss your individual needs.
