Services
Japanese Acupuncture
Japanese Acupuncture harmonises Yin and Yang to stimulate natural healing through precise needle placement. This ancient technique addresses musculoskeletal pain, stress-related disorders, and systemic imbalances by activating the body's self-regulating mechanisms. Patients experience improved energy flow, reduced inflammation, and enhanced recovery from chronic conditions.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese Herbal Medicine utilises plant-based formulations refined over 5,000 years to restore internal balance. Customised herbal prescriptions complement acupuncture treatments, addressing digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, and immune system weaknesses. This holistic approach supports long-term wellness through natural biochemical regulation.
Dry Needling
Dry Needling targets muscular trigger points to relieve chronic pain and tension. By inserting fine needles into knotted muscle tissue, this technique improves blood circulation, reduces inflammation, and restores normal muscle function. It effectively treats sports injuries, repetitive strain injuries, and postural pain.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion applies controlled heat from burning mugwort to specific acupuncture points. This warming therapy enhances circulation, alleviates joint stiffness, and strengthens immune response. Particularly effective for cold-related conditions, it complements acupuncture to accelerate healing in chronic pain and digestive disorders.
Chinese Cupping
Chinese Cupping creates therapeutic suction to release muscle tension and improve lymphatic drainage. This technique effectively treats back pain, respiratory conditions, and post-exercise recovery by increasing local blood flow and reducing fascial restrictions through negative pressure application.

Mark has made such a difference to my life. His acupuncture has affected both my physical and my mental states. I went to him originally because of severe pain in my arms and shoulders. The pain and other symptoms have gradually been eliminated so that I am now pain free and can move freely. I have energy to do lots of things, having been very lethargic for a long time. For years my mood has been low and I thought I had lost the ability to feel pleasure but not so, I am enjoying the things Im doing and am really motivated to push myself to do more. I feel as though Ive come

Well where do I start, I love Haynes Acupuncture, it has helped me so much. In my time I have been to see sooo many different people/places , to try and help me, with inflammation. Haynes Acupuncture has been the only place that does what they say, it WORKS. I can now walk properly and the pain in my lower back and Knee is just about gone. Not only did they treat the pain and inflammation in my body, but also hormones and mood swings. This is the place to come to get your body back, so very happy. Thank you so very much to the team at Haynes Acupuncture. You deserve 10 stars

I first met David at Haynes acupuncture when I was deep in a chronic fatigue flare. His wisdom
and holistic approach to treatment has given me back a life I never thought I would have again. My life has transition from barely being able to get out of bed to training for a hiking endurance event. After a period of intense weekly treatments, including acupuncture and Chinese herbs, I now see him regularly once a month to keep in check. He has a genuine empathy that is rare to find and I always leave my sessions with him feeling that I have had a a truly therapeutic experience. I will forever be

My experience at Haynes Acupuncture has been a pleasant experience from the time I entered the premises. Greeted by name and with a smile at reception is so refreshing.
David is such a warm welcoming practitioner who communicates in terms I can relate to which encourages me to work with his treatments at home to enhance the results. My results after 2 sessions are very encouraging and I am sure he will be my go to person from now on for any ailments that arise. Thank you David Haynes.

I was very skeptical at first having never had acupuncture before. But faced with the option of life on nerve blocking medication and / or surgery with some concerns over the success rate ! I thought there must be a better answer. I took the path of acupuncture, with a recommendation from a friend to see David at his clinic. Well it all seemed very strange at the start how can a pin have any effect on my issues ? but the results speak for themselves. After a few months I no longer needed medication and was pain free. I cannot express my thanks to David and his team for guiding me through

David changed my life, and I wasn't even the one that recieved the treatment! My daughter started seeing David with autonomic nervous system dysfunction and emotional instability. Within months, my daughters health settled down and she started living somewhat 'normally'. David is extremely knowledgeable in his services, he has been a blessing to mine and my daughters life.
