Wrist Ankle Therapy
This is a specialty of David's and as such he is one of the few qualified practitioners of this form of acupuncture in Ireland. Wrist Ankle Therapy is a newly developed form of acupuncture, particularly good for many painful conditions. One needle is inserted subcutaneous (without sensation) and is left to exert its therapeutic effect. Relief is generally instantaneous.Abdominal Acupuncture:
Abdominal acupuncture is a revolutionary new acupuncture technique developed over the last 20 years. It has been rapidly accepted and gained huge recognition because of its astonishing therapeutic results. It is very gentle as there is little sensation, for this reason most people prefer it to traditional acupuncture. It is powerful in its action and it can be used to treat any condition that traditional acupuncture treats (usually with a faster curative time). Results tend to be powerful and long lasting and are often felt instantaneously hence abdominal acupuncture is also known as the “miracle therapy”.David has been studying this form of acupuncture with the eminent Dr. Han in Nanjing over the past seven years and is probably the only practitioner qualified in this form of acupuncture in Ireland.
What does abdominal acupuncture feel like?
It is a safer form of acupuncture since the needles are generally inserted superficially and therefore it is almost painless. Deqi (needling sensation) is not elicited in the way it is with traditional acupuncture and so people usually find it more comfortable. There may be a general warm radiating feeling or some people who are very, in tune with their bodies energy, may feel qi sensation in the relevant part of the body being worked on, such as the arm, leg or back rather than the area of the abdomen being needled. As with traditional acupuncture a comfortable relaxed state is achieved.What Conditions can Abdominal Acupuncture Treat?

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture (F.R.A.) is a safe and effective, non surgical treatment to reduce the signs of ageing. It can improve the circulation of Qi & blood to the face and stimulate the production of collagen which helps to eliminate lines wrinkles and lift sagging skin or bags under the eyes. It gives the skin better tone and a healthy glowing complexion.Since beauty stems from the inside out, F.R.A. is an ideal therapy as it harmonises any internal organic imbalances that can make one more prone to the affects of ageing, thus the benefits are not merely cosmetic but are holistic so ensuring that results should last up to 10 years (depending on life style) with regular maintanence (2-3 per year).
