About Us:
Acucare Acupuncture Clinic uses traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory and practice for diagnosis, acupuncture and herbal medicine treatments. These treatments can be used in isolation or as a complementary treatment to western medicine.
Please note that many acupuncturists are only trained in a westernised version of Chinese Medicine and not the full traditional Chinese medicine theory, which takes years to learn. Many of these westernised courses only last 3-6 weeks!
Acucare Acupuncture Clinic practioners have over 5 years of university training. The practioners here will use the TCM theories they learned to guide clinical treatments.
If you are receiving medical treatment from a doctor, GP, or any other medical practitioner please let Dr Xu know and she may, if necessary, encourage or advise you to discuss the treatment plan with your GP.

What to expect:
First, your acupuncturist will ask about your health history. Then, he or she will examine your tongue’s shape, color, and coating, feel your pulse, and possibly perform some additional physical examinations depending on your individual health needs. Using these unique assessment tools, the acupuncturist will be able to recommend a proper treatment plan to address your particular condition.
To begin the acupuncture treatment, you lay comfortably on a treatment bed while precise acupoints are stimulated on various areas of your body. Most people feel no or minimal discomfort as the fine needles are gently placed. The needles are usually retained between five and 30 minutes. During and after treatments, people report that they feel very relaxed.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The frequency and number of treatments differ from person to person. Some people experience dramatic relief in the first treatment. For complex or long-standing chronic conditions, one to two treatments per week for several months may be recommended.
For acute problems, usually fewer visits are required, usually eight to ten visits in total. An individualized treatment plan that includes the expected number of treatments will be discussed during your initial visit.
The masseuse can identify which pathways are blocked and need pressure. A May 2013 study by the American Massage Therapy Association showed that regular massages can treat different serious illnesses like chronic low-back pain, headache, emotional problems and arthritis.

What Our Clients Are Saying About Us
Stopped Smoking
My wife and I started smoking in the latter years of the 1950’s, and smoked about 20 a day. After trying patches etc and getting nowhere we decided on acupuncture at Dr Shumin’s and it worked first time.
No more clothes etc smelling of smoke. My wife and I would like to thank the staff at Dr Shumin’s for their help and support.
We have already recommended Dr Shumin’s to our friends.
Mr and Mrs Lesley, Sheffield
Received acupuncture, herbal wash, massage, oil, and tablets.
Both hands were still very painful after the first few treatments, but as time went on the acupuncture really worked. After 10 treatments both my hands were 100% better. I can now do most things, such as gardening, free from pain. It’s been a nice experience and I would recommend Dr Shumins to my family and friends should they need it.
Jean Hobson
Back and Neck Pain
I have had a bad back for many years (over 20 years). After coming for acupuncture and herbal remedies my problems have now gone. I also had hot sweats which I had been treated for without success, these I am no longer suffering with.
I am so happy to have good health again with no pain and sleeping well and without waking because of hot flushes. I would certainly come back again if I have any health problems. Thank you for everything, the doctor Xu is brilliant at acupuncture and massage, and massages very courteous and helpful.
