Acupuncture near Blackpool and Cleveleys

People often look for acupuncture when pain, tension, stress or recovery symptoms are affecting day-to-day life. MAW Clinic is based on Victoria Road West in Thornton-Cleveleys, welcoming clients from Blackpool, Cleveleys, the Fylde Coast and nearby Lancashire communities.

Treatment is delivered by Maxine, a Registered Nurse and Medical Acupuncturist, with a calm clinical approach and time to understand what is happening for you.

Acupuncture may support pain management, muscle tension, nervous-system regulation and general wellbeing for some people. Results vary, suitability is assessed individually, and acupuncture does not replace medical care when that is needed.

Who this may be suitable for

Acupuncture may be considered when symptoms are persistent, recurring or affecting movement, rest, work or day-to-day comfort. Suitability is checked individually before treatment starts.

Back, neck, shoulder and joint discomfort
Muscle tension and sciatica-type discomfort
Headaches and migraine-type symptoms
Stress, sleep and wellbeing support
Sports injuries and activity-related overload
Post-operative symptom support where clinically appropriate
Cancer symptom support alongside usual medical care

What to expect at your appointment

Your first appointment starts with a clinical conversation about your symptoms, health history, medication, goals and any safety considerations. Maxine will explain whether acupuncture is appropriate, what treatment would involve and what realistic next steps may look like.

Where treatment goes ahead, fine, single-use sterile needles are placed carefully and your comfort is reviewed throughout. If acupuncture is not suitable, or if symptoms need medical review first, you will be advised appropriately.
