Arthritis in both knees and left foot                                              

As a result of 25 years of heavy duty mountaineering,skiing & climbing,I had developed “wear and tear” problems in both knees and left foot. I had taken glucosamine for 2 years which had helped,but was now losing it’s effect. I was worried in case I had to give up any kind of outdoor life,even a reduced one. I decided to try acupuncture & after a relatively short time the pain had gone from my foot, I could walk in bare feet,something I had not done in a long time. My knees took longer - they improved and the best thing was they stopped hurting in bed. I would like to think that the treatment had slowed if not halted the progression of the arthritis. However I am now walking and cycling as I wish,not so much as before but enough for me. Many thanks Francis.

Knee pain

For many years I have had very bad pain in both knees. Sometimes I even had to use a walking stick. I now bless the day I tried ear acupuncture. After a few treatments starting weekly and now six weeks apart,I can now walk and climb stairs unaided. Thank you Francis.

Migraine and Chronic Fatigue

My name is Andrea and I have been suffering with migraines most of my life. I also have chronic fatigue syndrome. After using many types of medication for migraines (both prescription and non-prescription) over the years, which have not been very effective, I discovered Ear acupuncture, which has been very successful. I had the treatment for four weeks initially and during that time I did not have any migraines, because the treatment was such a success I now need only one 45 minute session every three months. I have found Francis to be very friendly, helpful and professional.
