Traditional Chinese Medicine addresses a wide range of acute and chronic health conditions — treating the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Chronic pain is one of the most common reasons people turn to acupuncture — and one of the areas where TCM has the most robust evidence. By regulating blood circulation in specific tissue planes and stimulating the central nervous system, acupuncture activates the body's own pain-relief mechanisms without reliance on medication.
Whether your pain is the result of an acute injury, a chronic degenerative condition or postural strain, Nuno will design a personalised treatment plan — often combining acupuncture with Tuina massage for enhanced results.
Chinese medicine has a rich and sophisticated tradition of treating women's health conditions — one that spans thousands of years of clinical observation. Acupuncture and herbal medicine work to regulate the hormonal axis, improve uterine blood flow, reduce inflammation and rebalance the menstrual cycle.
Nuno has significant experience supporting women through fertility treatment, including IVF preparation and support protocols, and has helped many patients achieve results where conventional medicine alone had not been sufficient.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the digestive system — the Spleen and Stomach network — is considered the foundation of health and vitality. Weakness in this system affects not only digestion but also energy levels, immunity and emotional balance. TCM offers highly effective tools to restore digestive function from the root.
A combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine and Chinese dietetics is often the most effective approach, addressing both the acute symptoms and the underlying pattern driving the condition.
Chinese medicine does not separate the mind from the body — emotional states are considered inseparable from physical health, and disturbances in the Shen (spirit) manifest in both the body and the psyche. Acupuncture works to calm the nervous system, regulate the stress-response axis and restore the conditions for deep, restorative sleep.
Patients frequently report feeling significantly calmer and more grounded after just a few sessions — and improvements in sleep quality are often among the earliest and most dramatic effects of treatment.
