Welcome to Alex Lochhead Traditional Acupuncture providing personal complementary health care and acupuncture in York, Harrogate and North Yorkshire

I practice Five Element Acupuncture, an ancient form of acupuncture originating from China. It relies on working with the patient to understand the natural laws of the body and its relationship to the environment and seasons. By respecting these laws treatment aims to restore a natural healthy state.

My acupuncture practice has clinics in York and Harrogate and upholds the following philosophy:

  • Relax: time out of your day solely for you
  • Heal: bring balance to your body, mind and spirit
  • Enjoy: look forward to your treatment and enjoy the time we spend together

By bringing balance to your body’s natural energy system acupuncture can promote healing on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels. It can help you achieve your true potential in a natural, drug free, safe and supportive environment.

Acupuncture is very versatile and is used for many different conditions. Many people think it is only used for pain relief, but this is not the case. It can help treat the 'inner' person as well as many varied physical ailments. Patients often talk of feeling more in-touch with themselves or peaceful after treatment.

Thinking about acupuncture treatment? - I’d be delighted to discuss it with you.

The relationship between patient and practitioner is essential to promote healing. The aim of this website is to offer you a brief introduction to my practice. There are many sites on the net where you will find vast amounts of information on acupuncture. I feel it is very important that patients make contact prior to treatment to discuss their individual needs. No website can answer all the questions you may have and so I welcome your questions and assure you of the utmost confidentiality and discretion. It is important that you take time to choose your practitioner carefully and by making contact you are under no obligation to pursue treatment.

You are welcome to take advantage of Free 15 minute consultations to discuss your specific needs.
