HEALTH & BEAUTY<br />

Highly effective<br />

treatment brings<br />

Special offer - one treatment for<br />

arthritis at half price for the first 10 people<br />

who make an appointment before april 6.<br />

‘amazing’ results<br />

for arthritis patient<br />

Anyone that suffers from arthritis will know the pain, discomfort<br />

and sheer inconvenience this can cause in day-to-day life.<br />

However, thanks to a highly effective treatment<br />

offered by Chinese health practitioner Dr Lan Xiao,<br />

they can get fast, and very often immediate relief.<br />

Lan developed the treatment, known as<br />

‘acupuncture without needles’, which she describes<br />

as being similar to reflexology in that the problem<br />

area on the body is determined through pressure,<br />

but is much more accurate.<br />

One client who was thrilled with the results of<br />

this treatment, is Corinna Cornelius. Corinna was<br />

having problems with her right hand after she overused<br />

it following an injury to her left hand and it<br />

became arthritic.<br />

“I couldn’t close my hand up and make a fist, and<br />

it was also very painful, especially if I knocked it.<br />

This also made it very difficult to do everyday things<br />

like picking up a cup of tea or cleaning my teeth,”<br />

Corinna said.<br />

After hearing about Lan’s treatment from a friend,<br />

Corinna decided to give it a try, and was thrilled<br />

with the results.<br />

“The difference after one treatment was amazing.<br />

My hand wasn’t painful and I could make a fist.”<br />

A further six treatments followed, and Corinna<br />

said while her hand was still slightly stiff, it was<br />

improving every day and things were back to<br />

normal. Following a holiday in Australia, she was<br />

due to go back to Lan for a check-up, but didn’t<br />

think she would need any further treatment.<br />

“I love her skills. What she did was just amazing –<br />

and there were no needles involved!”<br />

Lan uses acupuncture without needles to treat a<br />

wide range of injuries and medical conditions and is<br />

now ACC registered.<br />

Dr Lan is offering one treatment for arthritis<br />

at half price for the first 10 people who make an<br />

appointment before April 6. Her clinic is located<br />

at 108 Sawyers Arms Road, and her hours are<br />
