City Acupuncture
Acupuncture is part of the holistic system of medicine known as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It has been used in China for the past 3000 years and is now widely practiced throughout the world. It is used to diagnose and treat illness, prevent disease and improve well-being. Chinese medicine does not replace Western medicine but enhances, balances and complements it.

Testimonials for City Acupuncture
"I have been treated by Janine on many occasions. Every time she has made me feel completely comfortable. Her extensive knowledge in fertility left me feeling very reassured. Janine has a very gentle, caring treatment approach and I highly recommend her to others" - Alison
“Early in my second trimester I had bad pelvic and sciatic pain. So bad I could hardly walk. After having a couple of different treatments that made no difference, I went to Janine for acupuncture. I immediately felt better and after a few sessions I’m walking freely again, no pain and enjoying my pregnancy again! Thanks so much, cannot recommend Janine enough.”
"I went to Janine to see if she could help me to fix a “hip” injury I’d been struggling with for over a year. It had been a long process of getting treatment, then seeing a small improvement, then I’d be back to square one.
"Then I went to see Janine. Janine is a wonderful listener and has a lovely, calm manner. I felt at ease immediately. She quickly identified the problem area (not the hip), and talked me through my options for treatment. I don’t notice the needles at all – there is no pain whatsoever. At every appointment we discuss the effect of the last treatment and agree on the next one. As a “patient” it’s great to be included in the process of healing. I thoroughly recommend seeing Janine, and have mentioned her to my friends. And my osteopath is thrilled with my progress. Apart from her skill, Janine is a lovely person to deal with, and I enjoy every session. Thanks!" - Anna
I have a phobia of needles but due to ongoing infertility issues and an upcoming IVF cycle I decided to try acupuncture and was recommended to Janine Nana at City Osteopaths. Janine has such a calming, kind nature I instantly relaxed and looked forward to our acupuncture sessions for the additional benefit of calming my anxiety.
