The western approach

From a western perspective, traditional acupuncture has been shown to alter the levels of many hormones, prostaglandins, and can affect the behaviour of white blood cells and antibodies. The biochemical changes alter and influence the bodies homeostasis mechanisms, thus promoting physical and emotional well-being.

Other modern theories are concerned with acupuncture’s effect on the central nervous system, cardiovascular system and others.

Stimulation of certain acupuncture points has been shown to affect areas of the brain that are known to reduce sensitivity to pain and stress (Hui 2010).

The Eastern Philosophy

From an ancient perspective, ‘Qi’ or ‘Vital Force’ or ‘Bio-Energy’ exists and flows around our bodies via clearly-defined ‘Channels of Energy’.

The correct and optimum flow of this energy assists the bodies fight against disease and promotes wellbeing.

Whichever school of thought you subscribe to, there is a growing body of evidence to support the validity of acupuncture and its ability to help our bodies heal. I see plenty of anecdotal evidence on a weekly basis to have total faith in it’s efficacy. Darren Stoyle

N.J. – Newton Abbot

This was my first time having acuputure, Darren was very professional and informative about the procedure. I felt very relaxed whilst having the accuputure I will definitely be having more sessions, I am interested to see after a few sessions how I feel.

A.T. – Brixham

Very good first appointment, especially time-wise. Did not feel rushed, he also listened to me regarding my health problems and I went away feeling hopeful that he could help with my condition – 5 stars

EH – Torbay

What can I say…? I have fibromyalgia. There is nothing the NHS can do for me other than give me pain killers. 3 weeks (4 treatments) with Darren and my pain is gone. I couldn’t leave the house without taking codeine as I was in too much pain to walk or drive and it hurt my arm to even lift a cup of coffee most of the time. Wish I had gone to see Darren a lot sooner – 6 sessions is cheaper than one private consultation (which I had been doing due to the NHS nor being able to help) and got nowhere with them either. Thank you Darren for giving me my life back! I had thought I would have to give up surfing for good. Thank you for giving the enjoyment in life back to me

HW – Paignton

I saw Darren as a last resort after suffering with sinusitis for years. I wish I’d thought about acupuncture as a remedy. Right from the first session I started to feel better and 3 months later I feel great and haven’t suffered with pain since!

COVID-19
Status Update

 

Now that Covid safety restrictions have eased we are simply asking that all patients attending appointments feel fully well in themselves or take a lateral flow test (and test negative) before coming into the clinic.

If you have any doubts over your health we are happy to rearrange your appointment. We really appreciate 24 hours notice of this if at all possible.

In addition, we ask that (especially in busy periods) you continue to wear a face covering in the public areas of the clinic.

Thank you for continuing to help us protect our team and more vulnerable patients so that we can continue to look after you all.
