Back pain, headaches and stiff shoulders

I suffer from stiff/heavy shoulders, back pain and headaches.  I had a 60-minute acupuncture session and found it to be very good.  At the time of receiving the treatment, the main pain of my shoulder had eased off but the treatment seemed to stop another flare up coming up for quite a while.  In addition to the physical treatment given, Lily also suggested some exercises to try and some websites that can assist with stress reduction.  Lovely surroundings, lovely lady, definitely revisit when I can.

Rhinitis, headaches, feeling 'under the weather', anxiety and indigestion

'I have been suffering with rhinitis for a number of years now, which has meant a blocked nose, headaches and generally feeling 'under the weather'. I don't like using medicated nasal sprays or taking medication on a regular basis.

I am so pleased that I made the decision to have acupuncture with Lily. I feel so much better not just for the acupuncture but also for the dietary modifications and lifestyle suggestions. They are becoming a very positive part of my life.


I have no hesitation in recommending Lily Lai and 'Acupuncture and Herbs' to other clients and also healthcare professionals. It has been a life changing experience for me. I feel so much better...sleeping more soundly, less tired and anxious, much improved digestion and a noticeable improvement in nasal congestion. I shall continue treatment as long as necessary to maximise the benefits.

I have found the acupuncture sessions with Lily to be enormously beneficial. I had never had acupuncture before but I am delighted with the outcome. In fact, it has been one of the best decisions in my life.


Although my main problem is rhinitis, I never realised how it linked it is to other problems that I had come to accept as 'normal'.....tiredness, difficulty in sleeping, anxiousness and indigestion. These are all now being resolved. Brilliant!!

I honestly don't think that the care I have received could be any better. Lily is very professional, competent, courteous and reassuring. I feel totally confident in her expertise.

Thank-you, Lily.'

Persistent and frequent migraines

'I've had persistent/frequent migraines and sought Lily's help to see if acupuncture would be beneficial.

Lily's care is exceptional and she brings an intelligence to her work which is refreshing. Furthermore, she's a good listener, handles issues sensitively and always addresses the problem. I have every confidence that she always does her best. She never, ever stops trying to work out the best possible solution for her client. She is consistent. All my sessions have been delivered to the same high standard - nothing is overlooked. (I have received acupuncture from a number of other qualified professionals and found that this has not been the case). 

I have ongoing acupuncture as it's been a very helpful treatment for migraine. For me, it won't prevent it - however, it will enable the client, I believe, to manage the problem much better and more effectively.'

Constant headaches/migraines

"For the first time in as long as I can remember I had hours of pain free relief. The treatment was explained very well and I knew there was a chance my headache would come back rather bad but worth it. Treatment was brilliant and in a lovely atmosphere. Easy to talk over the issues with and really understand what is going on. Would recommend and go for treatment again."

Migraines

"I suffer with migraines on a weekly basis for years - possibly 14 years. I had tried acupuncture before for different medical issues so when my migraines became unbearable I thought I'd give it a go. The headaches stopped completely. I've been so depressed by them (my migraines) before. I felt so much better within myself and am now hopeful that I can live a pain-free existence. "

Headaches & Tiredness

"I came to Lily hoping to find some relief from my headaches and tiredness which I had been suffering from for several months. The acupuncture treatments gave me almost instant release from a lot of pressure and tension in my neck and head. Lily was always very informative, honest and professional."

Headaches, Tiredness & Stress

"Headaches have been a problem for me for 10 years and I had also suffered from tiredness and stress for about a year before I started treatments with Lily. Lily recommended acupuncture and acupressure for my ailments and I embarked on a course of treatments with her. I felt the treatments were designed around me and my ailments and each session was very calming and relaxing. Now my headaches no longer occur as frequently and I feel less stressed and much calmer than before."

Joint & Muscle Pain

"I had a lot of un-diagnosed joint and muscle pains since June 2005 (and the doctors thought it might be rheumatoid arthritis but there was a considerable wait to see a specialist). Being very scared of needles I visited Lily as a last resort. The pain killers that the doctors were prescribing were not having any effect and I was desperate. The Osteopath that I visited also thought that it might help.

Lily was very calm and reassuring, explaining exactly what was going to happen. She was very gentle and constantly checked that I was ok.

Within five days of my first treatment I was able to walk up stairs without crying and I also stopped taking the pain killers.

At a later date I mentioned some digestive problems and these are much better now after one treatment. I also do not sleep very well and get headaches but these are now gradually improving. I have also had an acupressure treatment which I found wonderfully relaxing."
