Tucked away, but with good access, our Uckfield Acupuncture Clinic is based within the Uckfield Chiropractic Clinic, a quiet location that provides a relaxed atmosphere.

We are a highly professional team, with decades of experience. Diagnosis is done with great care, involves you in the process and will be explained in ways that make sense to you.

How does acupuncture in Uckfield work?

Acupuncture uses extremely thin, sterile, needles (0.2mm) to affect the body's physiological processes. It stimulates the movement of blood and fluids, strengthening weaknesses within your circulation and helping clear any obstructions that disrupt these normal circulations.

It balances the autonomic nervous system, calming down the sympathetic or 'fight or flight' responses and promoting the parasympathetic 'rest and digest' healing mechanisms by stimulating the production of endorphins and serotonin - neurotransmitters responsible for feeling well and happy.

What happens in a treatment?

Diagnosis involves discussion about symptoms and medical history, and non-invasive body diagnosis - including examining your tongue, checking your abdomen, face and limbs and checking your pulse.

Once inserted, needles are left for about 20 minutes.

Treatment may be supplemented with ‘moxa’ (a smouldering herb that adds warmth), massage or suction cups.

What does it feel like?

The sensation is often described as a 'tingling' or 'a dull ache'. Some points you won't even feel.

Treatment often only requires four to six needles. Once inserted, the needle may be gently rotated to obtain a slight sensation called 'deqi' translated as 'obtaining the qi'.

Most people that visit our acupuncture clinic in Lewes find the experience relaxing and often fall asleep once the needles are in.

I first started seeing Rick in 2021 for fertility support. During my initial consult Rick delved into my medical history too and has treated me ever since for ongoing support with my general health alongside fertility support. Ricks’ knowledge is quite frankly unmatched and at every appointment I’m still amazed how I feel such a sense of calm during and after treatment. For a girl with serious sleep issues I count down to my appointments as I know I will get a few good nights of sleep following acupuncture.

Rick has treated me through IVF & pregnancy, pre and post major bowel surgery and every other life event in between. He always takes the time to answer my questions and explains things in such an incredible way I feel I too gain knowledge.

I can’t recommend enough!!

For years I have suffered with migraines and offered various drugs and medical pathways that in my view would have caused other problems. Rick at Sussex Acupuncture has been a star the number of migraines I have has halved and we continue to explore opportunities to reduce this number further. Its not a quick fix but in all likelihood it will be more permanent.

I first went to Rick for acupuncture during IVF and pregnancy a few years ago. He is a skilled and empathetic practitioner who helped me through that journey, and also dealing with subsequent health and wellness issues - both physical and emotional. He is great at explaining the treatment, and also good at talking through intersections of acupuncture with other types of treatment, including western medicine.

I highly recommend Accupunture with Rick.
He is knowledgeable and communicates clearly and I felt safe and nurtured in the sessions.

I started the treatments with Rick when I was 31 weeks' pregnant and I cannot thank him enough for the pain relief he offered me! I had been suffering from muscular pain around the pelvic/hips' area and back pain which affected my sleep (I was waking up every 1-2 hours). After couple of weekly treatments the back pain was eliminated and the muscular pain was reduced to a very bearable level! Rick also helped me with my digestion and ripening my cervix which contributed to the early arrival of our little boy (he was born 38 week and 4 days)! I highly recommend Rick for his effectiveness/capabilities and professionalism!

I have found Rick to be a professional, knowledgable, friendly and compassionate practitioner in all my Acupuncture sessions with him. I feel he knows his business inside out and I trust him implicitly. Highly recommended for anybody who hasn't ever been to an acupuncturist before or likewise for returning clients.

I have known Rick's work for many years and he has been consistently thoughtful, supportive and effective. I have more or less been cured of debilitating migraines and received great help with my energy levels and general health.
