Conditions Treated

Acupuncture as an effective means of health care for all ailments

Common Conditions Treated

Acupuncture treats a wide range of disorders and is also used to maintain general wellbeing. Over 30 years ago the World Health Organisation (W.H.O) listed 40 diseases that can be treated by Acupuncture.

In 2008, the Director General of the W.H.O, Dr Magraret Chan, in her address at the Congress of Traditional Chinese Medicine, stated “The two systems of traditional and Western medicine need not clash. Within the context of primary health care, they can blend together in a beneficial harmony, using the best features of each system, and compensating for certain weaknesses in each…… The time has never been better, and the reasons never greater, for giving traditional medicine its proper place in addressing the many ills that face all our modern – and our traditional – societies” [source: http://www.who.int/dg/speeches/2008/20081107/en/index.html]

The range of disorders it treats includes, but is not limited to, the following:

Testimonials

  • I went to my GP with a Frozen Shoulder and he recommended me to a consultant at Blackrock Clinic and Physiotherapy. After a long time and spending a lot of money, nothing was helping and I also developed excruciating Sciatica in one hip. My mother suggested acupuncture and Gillian was recommended to me. She sorted my pain after a few visits.

  • I was referred to Gillian with re-current miscarriage and auto immune issues 2 years ago. From the moment i met Gillian I knew I was with the right person. Her knowledge and understanding of my specific issues go far and beyond that of an acupuncturist. Through Gillian, I always felt equipped for the journey that lay ahead for us. My husband and I both feel that Gillian played an integral part of the safe arrival of our baby 6 months ago.

    Ciara O'Connor, Dublin

  • I have been attending Gillian Searson for acupuncture treatment since… and am very pleased to say that I have found, and continue to find, her treatment of very significant benefit. Always full professional in her approach, her support has been invaluable. I am happy to recommend her without reservation.
