A warm welcome to all visiting Clare Ward Acupuncture Clinic in Banbury & Chipping Norton
Suffering from pain or anxiety can be really disabling. First, we spend time talking and understanding the cause of your discomfort. Using my almost 20 years knowledge, qualifications, and experience as a practicing acupuncturist, I create a treatment plan to suit you, as every patient is different.
In addition, where helpful, I can recommend testing to look for underlying issues in digestive health, recurrent infections, menopause etc. I can also recommend essential oils or mushroom nutritional products where necessary. I can also assess posture and suggest correction/strengthening exercises to aid recovery.
Acupuncture works alongside all other conventional medicine taking into account any current treatments or medication that you might be taking.

Anxiety, Tension and Excessive Worries
Acupuncture has been proven to be effective in managing a range of different issues when used alongside conventional treatments. It involves the insertion of several fine sterile needles at specific points around the body to stimulate or calm the nervous system.
For those patients with needle phobias, I offer a range of non-invasive techniques that can be equally as effective.
Acupuncture can be used for a variety of different reasons including acupuncture for back pain, acupuncture for headaches, acupuncture for menopausal symptoms, pregnancy symptoms and preparation for labour or acupuncture for anxiety or depression.
Babies/Children/Teenagers
Treating babies and young children and young people with acupuncture can be very effective. I ensure that all babies, children and young people feel as comfortable as possible. Acupuncture can help a wide range of childhood conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, eczema, asthma, chronic fatigue, and recurrent infections. It can also help to reduce reliance on medications, support illness prevention, and promote emotional wellbeing.
No-needles
I typically treat babies and young children with various non insertion techniques that I have studied and practised for years that are effective and comfortable.
Women’s Health
Acupuncture is an evidence-based treatment to support women to have optimum health from early period problems in through to menopause whether surgical or natural and everything in-between. Women in pregnancy can also benefit from a natural method of treating unwanted symptoms as well as having access to labour preparation with Pre-Birth preparation acupuncture treatments.

Acupuncture Treatments FAQ's
How many sessions will I need?
The number of treatments depends upon how long you might have had the condition. It is advisable to come frequently (weekly) to start and then stretch out time between treatments as your symptoms reduce.
Neurological Conditions including Peripheral Neuropathy will take more treatments to see benefits.
The first session is a consultation with medical history that is currently being conducted over the phone so as to reduce clinic time followed by a treatment in clinic soon afterwards.
What Should I wear?
Please wear clothing that is loose and comfortable. Ideally trousers should be able to roll up to the knees and in order to examine your abdomen and back, please wear trousers/skirt and a top in preference to a dress.
Does it hurt?
I have been trained in a gentle Japanese style of working which means that needles do not need to be inserted so it can be completely painless.
Alternatively, needles that are inserted are, at the most approximately .20mm in diameter and are shallow inserted to a depth of 2mm or so.
Can you treat children?
A Japanese style of treatment called Shonishin involving no insertion of needles is used with children. They often enjoy the treatment and great effort is used to put them at ease at all times.
