My name is Veronica Wrench and I graduated in Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture
at Salford University, gaining a first class BSc Honours degree. With this qualification I
was able to became member of the British Acupuncture Council, the UK’s largest and
most respected professional body for the practice of acupuncture. Their Codes of
Professional Conduct and Safe Practice ensure my patients are guaranteed highest
possible clinical standards.
A successful 20 year career in the pharmaceutical industry enabled me to gain a great
understanding of western medical conditions and their treatment. This knowledge
combined with my acupuncture training ensures I can take a practical and holistic
approach to many aspects of health and wellbeing.
The current western medical approach to managing people’s health tends to be focused
on resolving symptoms and sometimes as a consequence the patient’s needs are not
fully met, as the patient’s ability to be part of the process gets lost in the technical
necessity of following guidelines and adhering to best clinical practice. Many of the
common conditions I treat such as anxiety, depression and musculoskeletal pain are
those the NHS, with limited time and resource, can struggle to deliver for you the
patient.
When you, as a patient, feel involved in your health care, you generally have a better outcome. My motivation is to enable
you, with support, to regain control over managing and improving your health and wellbeing through traditional Chinese
acupuncture in a caring, empathetic and professional environment.
Traditional Chinese acupuncture works through treating the root cause of illness as well as alleviating the symptoms. In
fact, its origins in China were as a preventive medicine. It works on the principle that any pain or illness is caused by
imbalances in the body blocking the flow of vital energy, or qi. I am able to rebalance the body with the use of needles
allowing it to heal and repair itself.
This explains why many patients with low back and knee problems treated with traditional Chinese acupuncture go on to
suffer fewer relapses than those treated with conventional western medication and physiotherapy.
My approach is a very personal one. This means that you as a patient are always at the centre of the entire process and
kept fully informed at every step. I appreciate that every one of patients is an individual and I treat them as such.
