Fertility

After 2 failed attempts at IVF it was suggested to me that I try acupuncture. My husband phoned Norma at the Liverpool Acupuncture Clinic who was very knowledgeable about complications with conceiving, and my husband made an appointment for me the next day.

On meeting Norma she was a very helpful and professional person who was sympathetic to our needs. An assessment was made of my general health and existing problems I had, which had never been addressed before i.e. my diet and also problems with my monthly cycle.

These problems were highlighted and Norma explained how she could help. She fully explained the procedure to me and after just 2 sessions I felt more relaxed and positive and as a result of my treatment for the first time since I was a teenager I had a normal period.

During my course of acupuncture I fell pregnant on my third cycle and am now 24 weeks pregnant and have continued my acupuncture through my pregnancy and found it has benefited both me and my baby enormously.

I know that without Norma’s help and treatment I would not have been able to become pregnant and I would advise anyone with problems conceiving to seek her assistance as soon as possible.

Both me and my husband will be eternally grateful to her for all her help and kindness. Carla

I just wanted to say a big thank you for your support during my very recent IVF (immune) cycle.
The great news is that after three long years of heartache, I am finally pregnant!! It is very early days but we are determined to stay positive. Tina

Cancer support

I would just like to express the difference receiving acupuncture from Norma Rodgers has made to my daily life. As a result of extensive treatment for cancer I have been left with many problems both physical and mental. Since my first session with Norma my mouth has begun to manifest saliva, I have more mobility in my jaw, a much improved appetite and therefore I am eating better. The treatment has also helped with tinnitus, ear pain and jaw spasms which triggered my first visit. All of the above symptoms I have had for the last 2-3 years. Acupuncture has also greatly relieved the anxiety I have had about my prognosis and these symptoms. Jonathan

Hayfever

For a number of years now during late spring and summer I have been suffering with hay fever. Every year I would take medication prescribed by the doctor. A nasal spray for sneezing and running nose, eye drops for itchy and red eyes, and antihistamine tablets. Some days I would also need to take an inhaler for asthma caused by the hay fever. Although these medications provided me with some relief they didn’t make the symptoms go and I would still be left feeling groggy and very tired. This resulted in me feeling miserable and not being able to enjoy being outside during the summer months.

This year I decided that I would try acupuncture to help with the symptoms of hay fever. I first visited Norma Rodgers at the Liverpool Acupuncture Clinic in March 2008. On the first appointment she spent time finding out about my hay fever symptoms and my general health and wellbeing. At first I was attending the appointments every two weeks, gradually over time I have been able to go longer between appointments – it is now July and I attend monthly.

This year I have not had to take any medication prescribed by the GP, amazing! The only hay fever symptoms that I now experience are a few sneezes and a bit of a runny nose in the morning. I also do not feel groggy and tired and am able to enjoy being outdoors in the summer months. Having the acupuncture has made such a difference to me. Clare

Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME)

Eighteen months ago I needed a walking stick to help me get around and was in so much pain I had to leave university and stop working. Within 3 months of starting acupuncture I no longer need the stick and was able to return to university. Now I have graduated and have got my dream job, working with tigers, neither of which would have been possible without Norma and her needles! Joanna

Muscular and back pain

In Sept 2006 I started acupuncture with Norma due to hip, back problems and also some emotional problems.

By New Year’s Eve I was up on the dance floor most of the night, doing the twist, etc with no ill effects. I have continued regular appointments, keeping on the straight and narrow and definitely feeling human again. Barbara


I had been suffering with excruciating back pain for about four weeks.  I was unable to get much sleep because of the pain every time I moved.  Even walking was exhausting.  After just one treatment by Norma Rodgers, I was astounded at the relief of pain.  I slept well for the first time in a month. Norma massaged the muscle spasm, and treated the appropriate acupuncture points.  I am grateful for her kind, gentle and healing abilities.  I highly recommend her without hesitation. Corinne


I wanted to write to thank you for all the help and support you have given me at your clinic. Acupuncture has helped me so much treating my condition of spasmodic torticolis. I no longer have to have botox injections in my neck to stop the muscles going into spasm.

As acupuncture treats the whole person, not only is my neck straighter and I now have more movement, I feel much better in myself. My husband keeps commenting on the improvement in my general well-being as well as my neck. I have even overcome my fear of needles.

I am also grateful for your help dealing with my other condition including helping me deal with the grief of my father dying.

I have enjoyed being treated in your clinic, it is a lovely setting, very peaceful and professional and I will be in for a treatment in the New Year. Debbie
