TRADITIONAL THERAPY FOR PAIN, BALANCE AND WELLBEING

Acupuncture has been practised for over 2,000 years as part of Chinese Medicine. It works by stimulating specific points in the body, taking a holistic approach that recognises the connection between the body's systems and the mind.

At OM in Dalston, Hackney, East London, E8, acupuncture is used to support the body's own healing process, helping with balance, pain relief and a general sense of calm. Many patients notice a difference after just a few sessions.

What will happen at a treatment

During your session, fine, sterile, single-use needles are placed at specific points to help release natural pain-relieving endorphins, support the immune system and promote circulation.

We also draw on complementary techniques including cupping, Gua-sha, auricular acupuncture and moxibustion, tailoring the combination to what's going on for you individually.

Acupuncture, women’s health and fertility

At OM, we offer acupuncture for fertility and IVF support, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, menstrual health, menopause and other gynaecological concerns. Acupuncture is thought to support the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, which plays a role in regulating the reproductive system, and some studies have found it may be a useful addition to IVF treatment.

Acupuncture, musculo-skeletal pain and sport injuries

Acupuncture can help reduce swelling, muscle spasm and inflammation from physical activity or overuse, and support pain management, mobility and recovery after exercise. It can be used at any stage of an injury, often alongside cupping and Gua-sha, and some patients find it supports athletic performance as part of a wider treatment plan.

Facial Acupuncture

Gul also offers facial acupuncture, using fine needles at specific facial points to support circulation, collagen production and skin tone, alongside its calming, relaxing effect.
