Provided by Registered General Nurse (RGN) Jennie Hardy (BMAS Trained).
Overview and Clinical Philosophy
Medical acupuncture is an evidence-informed therapy that integrates modern neuroanatomy, physiology, and clinical research with targeted needle application. Unlike traditional Chinese acupuncture systems, medical acupuncture is performed within a contemporary healthcare framework following a thorough nursing assessment.
At Acupuncture by Nurse Jennie, every treatment plan is tailored to your unique health background and goals. Delivered in a professional clinical environment using single-use sterile needles, medical acupuncture can be integrated alongside standard medical care to support your physical health and recovery.
