What our clients say

“I have been a client of Malti’s for approximately 8 years and have visited her for acupuncture treatment for a number of reasons such as acne, insomnia and headaches. However, the main purpose of my visits were for fertility issues as I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovaries when I was a teenager and was concerned that I would have trouble conceiving. Following a course of acupuncture sessions with Malti, I fell pregnant first time with both of my two daughters. Acupuncture helped me through severe nausea during the first few months of my 2nd pregnancy. I had a break from acupuncture for a few years following the birth of my 2nd daughter and experienced problems conceiving my 3rd. After a year of trying to conceive I visited Malti once again for a course of treatment and I am delighted to say that I am now pregnant with my 3rd child. I’m convinced that acupuncture helped me in conceiving each time and can’t thank Malti enough for her help.”

“I was suffering from acute back pain due to disc herniation of the L2 disc in the lower lumbar region. The pain was constant, acute and at times I experienced shooting pain down my thighs which made walking difficult. Conventional physiotherapy was having limited impact and the alternative was to subject myself to spinal steroid injections. I approached Malti after having researched for alternative treatments such as acupuncture and having heard of the benefits of acupuncture. I had 6 sessions of acupuncture with Malti and the results were astounding. The pain reduced significantly and my mobility improved manifold. I returned for another session and the pain and all symptoms of a herniated disc had been eliminated to an extent that I was in a position to return to playing Badminton within 6 months. I strongly recommend Malti Shah as I can vouch for her credentials and her abilities in relieving patients of their pain on a permanent basis.”

Common Questions About Acupuncture Treatment

icon-decor-1

My Physio/Osteo does acupuncture. What's the difference?

Physiotherapists and Osteopaths use ‘dry needling’ to relax the muscle. They do not work according to the principal of balancing the Qi in the meridians. In traditional acupuncture the point prescription will include resolving inflammation, pain management and stimulating healing process.

My doctor offers private medical acupuncture. What's the difference?

Training is over 4 days whereas traditional acupuncture is a 3 year degree course with a year’s supervised clinic. Medical acupuncture is all about symptom management and does not work on the principal of balancing Qi in the meridians. So in medical acupuncture certain point protocols are used whereas traditional acupuncture believe one size doesn’t fit all – a treatment plan is formulated for each individual based on their consultation and diagnosis according to the principals of Chinese medicine.

What does it feel like?

Most people find acupuncture to be very relaxing. Patients often describe the needle sensation as a slight pinch or a tingling sensation.
