ACUPUNCTURE & CHINESE MEDICINE IN CHELSEA

This is our most frequently asked question! In reality, acupuncture is generally painless. We utilise ultra-fine, sterile needles (thinner than a human hair). Most patients experience only a sensation similar to a tiny mosquito bite, followed quickly by a sense of deep relaxation. At Phoebus Tian’s London clinic, we incorporate Japanese Toyohari painless acupuncture techniques, which are particularly well-suited for those sensitive to needles. In fact, many patients find the treatment so relaxing that they fall asleep during the session.

While we are renowned for our expertise in Fertility & IVF Support, our South Kensington clinic offers comprehensive holistic healthcare. We frequently treat a wide range of conditions, including:

• Pain Management: Neck, shoulder and back pain, arthritis, and migraines.

• Women’s Health: Period pain, PCOS, and menopause regulation.

• Emotional Stress: Anxiety, insomnia, and chronic fatigue.

• Digestive Health: IBS and bloating.

If you are unsure whether acupuncture is right for you, please feel free to contact us.

This varies from person to person. For acute muscular pain, results can often be seen within 1–3 sessions. For chronic health issues (such as fertility support or long-term insomnia), we typically recommend a course of treatment lasting 3–6 months, with weekly sessions. During your initial consultation, Phoebus will design a personalised treatment plan to help you restore your health as efficiently as possible.

Your initial appointment will include a comprehensive health assessment followed by treatment. We utilise traditional Chinese diagnostic methods—such as observing the tongue and taking the pulse—to understand your unique constitution. This is more than just an acupuncture session; it is an in-depth health consultation. We will also provide advice on diet and lifestyle. Our clinic, located in the heart of Chelsea / South Kensington, offers a private and comfortable environment, allowing you to relax completely.

We are situated in a prime Central London location at 33B Beauchamp Place, London SW3 1NU. Transport links are excellent; we are just a 10-minute walk from Knightsbridge station (Piccadilly Line) and a short distance from South Kensington station. We have been proudly serving the Chelsea and Belgravia communities for many years.
