Acupuncture involves stimulating certain points on the body, most often with a needle penetrating the skin, to alleviate pain or to help treat various health conditions. It not only helps with chronic pain but also known to be used, to treat stress or simply just relaxation of the body. Dr Joseph Chan is a practising doctor in UK and has been doing Acupuncture for over 20 years. He is highly recommended; therefore you need to book in advance for an appointment.
Any time during our opening hours you can pop in and have your blood pressure taken, as it can be difficult to do this at the doctors. As for glucose monitoring, it’s best to come in the morning before having anything to eat or drink to get a true reading. We do not charge for this service. Cholesterol test is a bit more depth which has to be done by the pharmacist, preferably early morning, after fasting. Cholesterol tests have to be booked in advance and a small fee does apply, as it is done privately.
