Welcome to the Acuvita Website

At Acuvita John Rowlands is dedicated to helping people return to good health and maintaining this condition. Identifying and rectifying the underlying causes of ill-health (as opposed to just addressing symptoms) is the key to bringing long-term relief from illness.

A consultation with John Rowlands, a fully trained and qualified acupuncturist, involves a personalised diagnosis based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The diagnostic information is gathered by four examinations (Looking, Listening, Asking and Palpating). An important part of the examination is based upon examining your tongue; its overall colour and the coating will tell the practitioner about the condition of your internal organs. This is further supplemented by feeling the pulse on both wrists.

The consultation is followed by a treatment using one or more of a number of acupuncture techniques. These include the use of the new high-tech Laser Acupuncture - needle free and totally painless.

Each treatment session lasts 1 hour. A course of treatment usually involves 6 to 12 sessions, but more or fewer may be necessary depending on the age and stage of the presenting condition. It is common to have one treatment per week, but this may vary depending on individual circumstances.
