Who is Higher Health Acupuncture?

My name is Pete, and I run my own acupuncture clinic here in the centre of Worthing on Saturdays. Just a five minute walk from Worthing’s mainline train station, and a stone’s throw from the beach. My belief is that no matter at what level we perceive our own health to be, there is always room for improvement.

Testimonials

  • "It was my first acupuncture experience ever (and I have a certain level of needle phobia) and Pete was an absolute star! He was super thoughtful and professional in making sure I was feeling comfortable and would share all the steps he was doing so I was not blindsided. The pre assessment Pete does works like a mini therapy session as he explains in a very confident way how life events/emotions/diet trigger the reactions in the body and it was great to understand what we were working on and why! I would highly recommend Pete to anyone looking for a 5* professional that delivers beyond the expected!"

    – Marcela

  • "Fabulous results from Higher Health Acupuncture for long standing shoulder/neck pain. Had a series of sessions but I felt immediate results after the first one which used electro acupuncture. Would highly recomend Pete."

    – Triona

  • "Pete is an amazing skilled and talented Acupuncturist. I went to see him as I was badly suffering from physical and emotional symptoms caused by the menopause. During my treatment all my symptoms were slowly getting better, feeling a great relief and much happier. I can highly recommend him, he is extremely patient, he always listens to all your concerns and he has such a good natured character."

    – Yolanda

  • "I went to see Pete for a block of treatment after a running injury (11 sutures in my knee). The peripheral neuralgia I was experiencing went, the scar healed beautifully with no puckering and I have no numbness despite the severity of injury and deepness of cut. Pete puts you immediately at ease, is knowledgable, professional and none of the needles going in even hurt. It was my first experience of electro acupuncture and it was super relaxing, something I never thought I'd say from having 12 needles in my leg! 100% recommend."

How does acupuncture work?

Acupuncture originates from China dating back over 2,000 years. Health is dependent on the body’s vital life force, known as Qi, to move in a smooth and balanced way through a series of channels inside the body. This can be disturbed by any number of reasons, including hereditary factors; emotional states such as anxiety, anger, or grief, and trauma; and physical causes such as poor diet, intoxicants, insufficient sleep, overwork, environment and infections. When Qi is unbalanced, stagnant or deficient, illness often results.

Acupuncture works to maintain the body’s equilibrium by focusing on all aspects of wellbeing; both physically and mentally. The aim is to stimulate the body’s own healing to restore its natural balance through the insertion of very fine acupuncture needles at chosen ‘energy’ (Qi) points along the channels. Acupuncture works by aiming the treatment at the root of your condition, as well as at your symptoms. To find out more about acupuncture in general, please visit ATCM
