The Plymouth Practice - The Nuffield Hospital

Traditional Acupuncture

Plymouth Nuffield Hospital and Fiona Matthews, its Pain Management Consultant treats the whole person, body and mind, and not just symptoms.
As a Traditional Acupuncturist and British Acupuncture Council member, she not only treats conditions in a comprehensive manner, but also follows a patient-centred, holistic approach.

With her medical and nursing background Fiona can give Plymouth Nuffield Hospital patients a unique and balanced view, using traditional acupuncture to complement western medicine.
She will be able to treat you as a whole, assessing all life style and health factors, rather than just your presenting symptom.
In 1997 Fiona Matthews was invited to start a Traditional Acupuncture clinic at the Plymouth Nuffield Hospital.
