Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body to support your natural healing processes, reduce discomfort, and restore balance. It's used both as a standalone therapy and alongside conventional medical treatment.

​

Cancer Support

Paris works with cancer patients at Lister Hospital in Stevenage and privately at Hatfield House. Acupuncture doesn't treat cancer, but it can significantly reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and other treatments — including nausea, fatigue, sleep disturbance, hot flushes, dry mouth, and peripheral neuropathy in the hands and feet.Private appointments are available at Hatfield House. Hospital appointments are by referral from your oncology team or specialist nurse.

 

Pain Relief

Sometimes it starts small. You've been at your desk a little too long, and there's a dull ache settling between your shoulder blades. You roll your neck, shrug it off, tell yourself it's nothing. But days turn into weeks, and that quiet neck and shoulder pain becomes something you carry everywhere — into your evenings, your sleep, your patience.

For others, the pain isn't so quiet. It's the sharp, radiating discomfort of sciatica, tracing its way down from your lower back into your leg, making it hard to sit, stand, or even find a comfortable position at night. Or maybe it began during pregnancy — that first twinge in your back that grew heavier with each week, until simply walking felt like a task.

Then there's the pain that comes every month. The kind you've tried to manage with heating pads, painkillers, and hope — period pain that seems to get worse instead of better, until you start dreading a date on the calendar you can't avoid.

And for some, it's the back pain that has quietly taken over everything — the sleep you're not getting, the walks you used to enjoy, the small joys that pain has slowly pushed out of reach. At Lime Tree acupuncture, we offer home visits if the pain is impacting your movement and you are unable to come to our pain relief clinic in Hatfield.  

​

Stress, Sleep and Mental Wellbeing

Acupuncture has a calming effect on the nervous system, which is why many people come to us when they're struggling with stress, anxiety, poor sleep, fatigue, or low mood. Sessions are quiet, unhurried, and often deeply relaxing.

 

Women's Health and Hormonal Support

We support women through menopause, perimenopause, PMS, and hormonal imbalances. Acupuncture is particularly effective for hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes, and disrupted sleep — whether caused by menopause, cancer treatment, or medication side effects.

 

Fertility

Acupuncture is widely used as a supportive therapy alongside fertility treatment. We work with people at various stages — whether trying to conceive naturally or undergoing IVF.

 

Digestive Health

Acupuncture can help regulate digestion and ease symptoms associated with IBS, bloating, nausea, constipation, and food sensitivities. 

 

General Wellbeing

You don't need to be unwell to benefit. Many of our patients use regular acupuncture to maintain energy, improve sleep, manage everyday stress, and stay well.
