FATIGUE AND TIREDNESS 

Fatigue, the feeling of being tired most or all of the time, is one of the most common complaints I see in clinic. Maybe you can even relate?

Some of the symptoms typically presenting in chronic fatigue are:

• Extreme tiredness which cannot be relieved by sleeping 
• Insomnia
• Dizziness
• Brain fog
• Muscle and joint pain
• Headaches/migraines

Research has discovered that acupuncture may be able to relieve its symptoms when combined with other treatments. 

Often the cause is unknown, however common triggers are range of physical and psychological factors, some of which could be an internal hormonal imbalance, a viral infections (such as Epstein-Barr or Covid) or stress resulting in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). 

The Traditional Chinese Medicine approach to help with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is to rebalance and boost the “Qi”, our life energy. During a consultation I will ask questions about all aspects of your medical history, life and work. 

Each particular reason for fatigue or tiredness can present itself differently in every individual, which is why I always adjust the approach accordingly to your symptoms and causes. The initial consultation will help us to understand the causes of the symptoms you are experiencing and to determine the best approach for you.
