LEIGH MARTIN ACUPUNCTURE
About acupuncture
Carefully developed and refined over 1000’s of years, acupuncture is one of the longest established health care systems in the world.
​
Chinese physicians observed how the body reacts to cyclical changes and developed a meridian channel theory, this concept observes that in health a person’s Qi and Blood are in a constant state of flow and being regenerated. If for some reason this natural balance becomes compromised, symptoms of poor health can occur.
​
The aim of an acupuncturist is to bring the body back into balance both physically and mentally. This is achieved by careful questioning and diagnosis by a trained practitioner.
Rooted in ancient philosophy, acupuncture is supported by a wealth of clinical evidence.

WELCOME TO LEIGH MARTIN ACUPUNCTURE
​
Are you interested in improving your energy, feeling more relaxed, having a good night’s sleep and promoting your general health? Or perhaps you have a more specific health related issue? Then why not try acupuncture.
Acupuncture treatment has benefited thousands of people over many thousands of years and can be used for many reasons from physical to emotional.
​
After as little as one treatment, people frequently report feeling calmer, clearer and a reduction in pain, this in part is due to the endorphin release that is encouraged in the body during a treatment as well as the opportunity to relax and be heard during the treatment itself.
You may also be interested to experience the benefits of naturally revitalising and smoothing your complexion with facial acupuncture, as our faces are the point from where we view the world and often places where we gather and hold onto tension.
Leigh is a fully qualified and licensed acupuncturist, a registered and insured member of the Association of Acupuncture Clinicians (AAC) and holds a BSc (Hons) in acupuncture. She has completed post graduate training in Ear and Facial acupuncture. She has also trained in Cupping Therapy, Tuina and Swedish massage. Leigh is committed to continually developing her practice with further training and advancements in the field of Chinese medicine.

I went to see Leigh with sleeping problems. My head was full of work stuff going round and round and as much as I tried to relax, it would just keep going round and round in my head.
Leigh made me feel very relaxed in her company and this was my first visit to an Acupuncturist, I felt re-assured.
After a thorough Q&A of my health history a number of needles were painlessly inserted in various regions on my body... I especially liked the one in my lower stomach somewhere that was lit... this gave a very pleasant, warming sensation throughout my whole stomach...Amazing.
I also started yawning and felt very relaxed.
After the treatment, I went home and at night went to bed.
As I fell asleep, I felt thoughts, literally entering my head and instantly flowing away.... I fell straight to sleep and slept for 9 hours straight which is unheard of. I totally recommend a session with Leigh. Thanks.

What can acupuncture treat?
The response to this is probably to ask how does acupuncture work? Whilst this remains a complex question, acupuncture is believed to stimulate the nervous and hormonal systems that influence the body’s function.
​
In more physical terms, the application of fine needles to parts of the body which relate to pain, can help to reduce inflammation, improve joint mobility and trigger endorphins which play an important role in pain regulation.
Acupuncture may be used to address a large number of symptoms from insomnia and depression through to menstrual irregularities, digestive problems and muscular skeletal issues. It may be used alongside or at times as an alternative to Western medical interventions.
