Maxine providing acupuncture treatment at MAW Clinic near Blackpool

Why people choose acupuncture

People often look for acupuncture when pain, tension, stress or recovery symptoms are affecting day-to-day life. At MAW Clinic, 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. It is not a guaranteed cure, and it does not replace medical care when that is needed.

Common reasons people book

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 includes an individual assessment, discussion of your symptoms and goals, safety screening, consent and treatment where appropriate. 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.

Why choose MAW Clinic

MAW Clinic is based at 124 Victoria Road West in Thornton-Cleveleys, serving Blackpool, the Fylde Coast and nearby Lancashire areas. The clinic focuses on safe, evidence-informed, person-centred care in a private professional setting.
