Acupuncturists in
Teignmouth

Acupuncture was first developed over 2000 years ago in China. It is now commonly recognised as being effective for use as a complimentary treatment to western medicine. It has virtually no side effects, being one of the safest treatments available in the UK, when practiced by properly trained practitioners.

Acupuncture may help many common health problems. By stimulating acupuncture points on various parts of the body, the person's qi (energy or vitality) can be influenced. The aim of the treatment is to rebalance the body back to good health.

We are conveniently located in Preston, just a short distance between Torquay and Paignton. The Clinic has been established locally since 1995 and is run by myself, Kim Maidment. Prior to that, I trained for three years at The College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading for my Licentiate. This is where I formally studied Five Element Acupuncture, TCM Acupuncture and Patent Herbs, in addition to Anatomy, Pathology and Physiology.

Feeling well and healthy is fairly subjective, however there is no doubt that if we feel unwell, out of sorts or in pain it will affect us negatively in some way. Even if we have plenty of money, if we don't have our health we're in trouble. Feeling good isn't only about absence of disease, it's about our energy, our 'spirit', our mood. These are subtle things that your local GP may be empathetic about but possibly at a loss as to how to help. I strongly believe that our emotions affect our health, especially if we suppress them.
