Neck pain
Neck pain, often described as cervical pain, can affect turning the head, desk work and sleep. Assessment helps distinguish muscular discomfort from nerve symptoms or another problem.

Sciatica
Pain travelling from the back or buttock into a leg may be sciatica. A consultation should assess nerve function as well as pain before deciding on supportive treatment.

Disc bulge & slip disc
Disc bulge or disc herniation can be associated with back pain and sciatica. Treatment decisions should combine symptoms, examination and the MRI findings, rather than rely on a scan label alone.

Depression
Persistent low mood, loss of interest and reduced functioning deserve professional mental-health assessment. Complementary care must not delay that support.

Metabolic & hormonal concerns
Diabetes
Diabetes requires ongoing medical management and monitoring. Acupuncture-led care, if considered, is supportive and does not replace glucose-lowering treatment.

An underactive and an overactive thyroid are different conditions. Blood tests and physician-directed care are central to diagnosis and treatment.

Digestive concerns
Acidity & gastritis
Burning, reflux and upper abdominal discomfort can have different causes. Persistent symptoms should be assessed before assuming they are simply acidity.

Fullness, burning or discomfort after eating may be described as indigestion. Recurrent or changing symptoms deserve assessment rather than a generic digestive treatment.

IBS can involve recurring abdominal pain and altered bowel habits. A diagnosis should account for warning signs and other possible causes.
Read the guide →

Colitis means inflammation of the colon and can have several causes. Gastroenterology-led diagnosis and treatment take priority over complementary therapy.
