Natural pain relief
Acupuncture may be effective for pain relating to a medical condition, the ageing process, surgery or injury. It can be safely administered alongside medication and if effective, may reduce the level of medication needed.Sports injuries
Acupuncture may also help recovery from sports injuries and in clinical practice I have observed some positive outcomes with acupuncture. In order to further my knowledge, I have attended further training entitled “tendon acceleration healing” which focuses on reducing pain and aiding recovery.

Complex neuropathic symptoms (entire body)
I began acupuncture around 36 months ago with what I can only describe as exceptionally complex neuropathic symptoms. From the very first contact I knew I was in very safe and capable hands. Louise was patient and listened to all my needs which enabled her to carry out treatment which brought such a relief from the symptoms I was experiencing. The success of treatment has been achieved not only due to the warmth, compassion and safe space provided but Louise's knowledge and expertise, I can honestly not thank her enough.

Plantar fasiitis & joint pains
I initially started to see Louise due to a debilitating plantar fasciitis issue that I had been suffering with for months. I am a very experienced nurse and I'd tried everything to ease the pain but nothing was working, so I sought out acupuncture on the advice of a friend. I instantly connected with Louise's website because of how professional it looked and because she had a strong nursing background, I knew she would have strong clinical knowledge. I wasn't sure what to expect as I have never had acupuncture before. However, what I experienced was an incredibly professional, clearly knowledgeable and experienced practitioner. Louise will conduct an initial thorough, detailed consultation with you to fully understand your needs. Her clinic room is professional, there's no incense burning, chanting music or whale noises. She is a serious practitioner who's only aim is to support your body to heal. She is fully regulated and keeps herself professionally updated. After the first session I felt relief from the pain, after 3 sessions my plantar pain was gone and stayed like this for months down the line. I still see Louise when needed for various issues relating to hormonal balance & joint pains. Each consultation is as thorough as the first. Louise is respectful of the clinic environment and of people's needs. She will ensure you are comfortable and warm during your treatment. I can and do, highly recommend Valley Acupuncture for any issues that you may be suffering with.

Low back pain
I originally booked a treatment at Valley Acupuncture for my back injury which has been ongoing for over 3 years. At the first appointment Lou asked lots of questions and explained that she will tailor the treatment to all my needs and not just the back pain. While sceptical at first, I went with it and boy am I glad I did. Not only did my back pain dramatically reduced I felt to have lots more energy and generally better. Lou explained to me clearly which points are being treated, why and what I can expect. If you suffer from back pain Valley Acupuncture is the place to get treatment.

Knee, shoulder and back pain
I had been having problems with a knee injury and felt messed around by the NHS as to what was the actual diagnosis. I was in a lot of pain, and struggling to walk, until my friend suggested acupuncture, as it had worked for her in the past. I had tried one of the national acupuncture chains in the past, without success but then Louise Crewe at Valley Acupuncture was recommended to me. After having acupuncture, I was able to go for long walks, but could not manage ¼ of a mile before seeing Louise. I also mentioned I had been having back pain for years and that I also had shoulder injury and Louise was happy to treat both of these conditions too. After being sceptical, I cannot believe the difference Louise has made to my life, as I can now do many of the things I used to do. The pain is much more manageable now and I recommend people with injuries, go to see Louise, as I am confident she will be able to help them too.

Hip pain
I had suffered with hip pain for a considerable time and was diagnosed with hip bursitis. Acupuncture treatment helped with the pain, giving me a much better quality of life until I was able to undergo surgery.

Knee & ankle pain (sports related)
Louise has helped me with chronic knee and ankle pain as well as general well-being. I found her treatments to be highly beneficial both mentally and physically. She provides a friendly and relaxing environment, resulting in a truly positive experience. I’ve tried other treatments with limited success, but I couldn’t recommend Louise highly enough.

Achilles tendon injury (sport related)
After suffering with an Achilles tendon injury for ages and trying other treatments I finally turned to acupuncture and wish I had done so sooner. I will recommend Louise to my running friends as I feel the treatment has had a positive effect on the injury, eliminating the pain and putting my back on the road to recovery.
