Acupuncture and herbal medicine for Coccyx Fracture

 Restoring Mobility and Quality of Life After a Coccyx Fracture


A woman in her 50s came to us following a fall that resulted in a fractured coccyx. The injury left her in significant pain, severely impacting her daily life. She struggled with basic activities such as sitting, sleeping, and even getting dressed. Her mobility was greatly reduced, and the constant discomfort made it challenging to perform routine tasks or rest properly.


After a thorough assessment, we developed a tailored treatment plan combining weekly acupuncture sessions and Chinese herbal medicine. Within just three weeks, she experienced remarkable progress:


  • Pain-free movement: She regained the ability to perform day-to-day activities without discomfort.


  • Restored mobility: Her range of motion improved significantly, allowing her to move freely and confidently.


  • Improved sleep: She began sleeping soundly, which played a crucial role in her overall recovery.


This case highlights the powerful synergy of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine in addressing pain, promoting healing, and restoring quality of life. It’s a testament to how holistic approaches can effectively support recovery, even in challenging cases like a coccyx fracture.

Acupuncture for Recurrent Epistaxis (nose bleed) and Stress-Related Symptoms

Successful Management of Recurrent Epistaxis and Stress-Related Symptoms with Acupuncture and Lifestyle Interventions




A woman in her mid-30s presented with recurrent episodes of morning epistaxis (nosebleeds) accompanied by persistent nasal and throat dryness. She also reported experiencing frequent nightmares, chronic stress, and overall compromised well-being. Despite undergoing various diagnostic investigations, no underlying pathological cause for her symptoms was identified.

The patient was enrolled on a holistic treatment plan incorporating weekly acupuncture sessions, alongside personalised diet and lifestyle modifications. Over the course of treatment, the frequency of her morning nosebleeds significantly decreased and eventually resolved entirely. Additionally, she reported notable improvements in her digestion, sleep quality, and stress levels.

The integration of acupuncture and tailored lifestyle advice proved highly effective in addressing her symptoms and enhancing her overall quality of life. This case highlights the potential benefits of a multidisciplinary approach in managing stress-related and idiopathic conditions, particularly when conventional diagnostic methods yield inconclusive results.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine for middle-aged women wellbeing support

 The client

A female client in her early 40s presented with a range of symptoms, including digestive issues, anxiety, insomnia, brain fog, and frequent urination during both the day and night. She reported difficulties digesting gluten, dairy products, and sugar. Additionally, she was taking medication to manage the frequent and urgent need to urinate.


The treatment

A comprehensive treatment plan was developed, which included weekly acupuncture sessions and a tailored herbal medicine regimen. The treatment aimed to restore digestive function, calm the mind, improve sleep quality, alleviate brain fog, and address the issue of frequent urination. Detailed dietary and lifestyle recommendations were also provided to complement and enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.


The outcome

Over time, the client experienced significant improvements in her symptoms. Her digestion became more efficient, and the constant bloated feeling subsided, allowing her to enjoy meals without discomfort. She reported feeling calmer and noticed a return of mental clarity, which led to increased productivity at work. Additionally, her sleep quality improved significantly—she was able to sleep through the night without the need to get up to urinate, and the constant urge to urinate during the day was also resolved.
