Help with pelvic floor pain

I was suffering from pelvic floor pain and our GP was not particularly helpful. After some research, I realised I needed to see a physio. I found a lady who did deep tissue massage which helped (but did not resolve all pain issues) and left me with unpleasant detox effects. I needed more help from someone I knew and trusted. As I had been a patient of Lily in the past, I sought her help. A session of acupuncture sorted out most of the remaining pain which was probably due to a knotted abdominal muscle. Lily then said that I needed to have more treatment from a physio and I subsequently found a lady physio who specialised in pelvic floor pain. I always happily seek Lily's advice and help as I trust her implicitly, she is compassionate and very knowledgeable. Lily has helped me with skin problems in the past and was a great help with the pelvic floor pain. God bless you Lily!

Acupuncture for atypical Trigeminal Neuralgia

I was diagnosed with atypical trigeminal neuralgia 2.5 years ago and, having joined the TN Association, read an article about how acupuncture had helped a sufferer in relieving pain caused by this condition. I was prescribed Oxcarbazepine, which is often taken for this condition. When I first visited Lily I was taking up to 4 tablets per day. I am now taking 2 tablets a day and I hope to reduce this down to 1 in the next few months.

I have ongoing acupuncture sessions - one every two or three weeks for 1 hour. Because I have quite a stressful job working on London every day, I will continue my sessions as I find them very helpful in reducing stress levels and thus reducing the pain caused by my TN.  Having regular acupuncture relieves the tension build-up in my neck and face which, in turn, can sometimes stop the pain that I feel in my jaw from the TN, for a period of time.  I am very satisfied with the care I receive.

Trying to conceive and unexplained infertility.

"I was trying to conceive and had unexplained infertility, and used acupuncture approximately weekly for a year with my first pregnancy and again for my second pregnancy. Just a big thank you, again, for everything you did! I got pregnant within 3 months of treatment after 2.5 years of trying to conceive. I also felt better in general and experienced decreased pain (due to pregnancy) after each visit. Wouldn't hesitate to come back if I felt the need. The service and results were amazing! "

Sciatica

"I'd been suffering from sciatica for 10 years when I decided to try acupuncture. I came to see Lily who advised me to try a course of electro-acupuncture and acupressure treatments. Over the course of treatment, I experienced immediate relief from my symptoms and a reduction of overall pain level. Lily always explained to me the treatments and her interpretation of other tests such as examination of the tongue and pulse readings. She was exceptionally caring throughout the treatments and was always on hand to respond to any reaction and to adjust the treatments accordingly."
