A traditional Chinese medicine practice whereby very thin steel needles are inserted in specific locations around the body to promote healing, reduce inflammation and ultimately alleviate pain. Acupuncture is an effective remedy for many musculoskeletal conditions, both in treating the root cause and in reducing the severity of unpleasant symptoms. Migraine sufferers can often report positive experiences from acupuncture.
S&C Therapy is a prestigious acupuncture clinic located in Norwich City Centre on All Saints Green. This road is located off Surrey Street and Queens Road just around the corner from Norwich Bus Station & Travelodge Norwich Central.
Charlie will insert needles into select regions of the body for a temporary period of time to assist the flow of energy, known in traditional Chinese medicine as 'Qi' energy. Stimulating these points has proved effective in its pain-relieving properties as well as in accelerating recovery and healing. The NHS attributes the results achieved from acupuncture to the pain-relieving endorphins released as the sensory nerves under the skin and within the muscles are stimulated.
It has long been understood in Chinese medicine that through maintaining a healthy flow of inner energy you achieve balance and harmony in the body. Often acupuncture is complimented with physiotherapy if the patient is experiencing significant MSK distress.
You can expect a reasonable portion of your first session to be dedicated to Charlie assessing you to develop a comprehensive understanding of your condition before proceeding to treat it.
Through the use of 3D anatomy modelling, along with supporting informational resources, Charlie will provide you with an in-depth explanation of the nature of the health issues you are experiencing and what is causing them.

For anyone suffering from musculoskeletal conditions and migraines, acupuncture offers a natural, drug-free solution through stimulating your body’s natural healing processes. Acupuncture reduces inflammation, promotes blood circulation, and releases endorphins in your body (think of these as natural painkillers).
Traditional Chinese acupuncturists believe the process works by assisting the flow of energy around your body to create balance and harmony. This age-old therapy soothes aggressive symptoms as well as addresses the root cause of your condition and can provide long-lasting relief.
There are minimal side effects associated with this treatment and it can act as a holistic remedy to improved health and wellbeing.
Charlie is a member of The Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (AACP), a prestigious institution that is the largest professional body for acupuncture in the UK.
AACP members are Chartered Physiotherapists who have undergone full medical training in addition to working for at least one year with patients within a hospital setting or in private practice, before starting their acupuncture education. This means to even get enrolled in such a course, you must already possess a strong foundation in treating musculoskeletal conditions.
Physiotherapists are the largest group of medical professionals in the UK practicing acupuncture. In fact, most instances of its application in the UK are for the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions.
At S&C Therapy, acupuncture can be used in isolation or in conjunction with physiotherapy & sports massage therapies. If you have any questions regarding whether acupuncture alone, or complemented with other therapies would be the optimum path for you, feel free to get in touch with the clinic. Charlie will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Acupuncture is widely considered a very safe treatment option when carried out by fully qualified professionals such as AACP members. All AACP members have completed comprehensive training and are fully qualified and experienced in performing acupuncture therapy.
Clinic hygiene & cleanliness at S&C Therapy is a top priority with treatment needles being sterile and, of course, limited to a single use.
One recommendation is to avoid hot baths, showers, and saunas after acupuncture as they can counteract the therapeutic effects.
