Acupuncturist - Linda Gaiderman, Lic Ac, MBAcC

I graduated in 1990 in Traditional Chinese Acupuncture at Leamington Spa and have worked in Tewkesbury since then; I joined the team at Newent Osteopaths in 2005. I have recently completed two years’ further study at Reading College to qualify in Traditional Chinese Medicine. I have undertaken courses in IVF and fertility and pregnancy and have had the privilege of attending at births in Cheltenham and Gloucester hospitals, performing acupuncture during delivery.

I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council which insists that we have a thorough training of at least three years in traditional acupuncture and western medical sciences. It insists too that we comply with a code of ethics and practice to ensure the health and safety of the public at all times. I also qualified in Swedish therapeutic massage in 1998.

Who has Acupuncture?

Many people come to acupuncture for help with specific symptoms or conditions. These might include anxiety states, arthritis, asthma, back pain, circulatory problems, depression, facial paralysis, fibrosis, high blood pressure, indeterminate aches and pains, infertility, menstrual problems, migraines, rheumatism, sciatica, skin conditions or ulcers.

Acupuncture is a safe treatment for all. It has proved to be effective in pregnancy management and for the relief of pain in childbirth. Acupuncture is also helpful for people trying to overcome addictions such as those related to smoking, alcohol, food or drugs.

What does it feel like?

Most people’s experience of needles is of those used in injections and blood tests. Acupuncture needles bear little resemblance to these. They are much finer and are solid rather than hollow. When the needle is inserted, the sensation is often described as a tingling or dull ache.

Is it safe?

All members of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) observe a strict Code of Safe Practice, amongst others, which lays down stringent standards of hygiene and requires the use of sterile disposable needles. Patients who have been treated by a BAcC member are eligible to donate blood through the National Blood Service.

Traditional Acupuncture

Acupuncturists are usually contacted for the alleviation of a specific illness or pain. Patients find the treatment a safe and effective way of treating a multitude of health problems. I have become more and more dedicated to this system as i find on a regular basis that patients who wanted help for a back pain ,arthritis, migraine ,depression, etc... find that not only is their condition eased but other completely unexpected aspects of well-being occur simultaneously. for example,they may feel happier, sleep better or have increased energy. The relief of stress, which magnifies most problems, is one of the most important benefits that can result from acupuncture treatment.

Treatment

The idea of needles worries most people but acupuncture needles are completely unlike those used for taking blood or giving injections. They are very fine and in most cases the actual insection is experienced more as a tingling or dull ache.

What People Say

"I am so relieved that I overcome my fear of needles to have treatment. The benifits have been far greater than I ever imagined and I now wish I'd done it years ago. Relief from menopausal symptoms, increased energy levels and less back pain have been just some of the results of treatment.

I'd recommend it to everyone." Marlene, Gloucester.
