Most insurance companies cover chronic pain assessments, acupuncture and myotherapy but it is always advisable to give them a call to confirm. There is a £10 charge for completing insurance claim forms. I am unable to do direct claims.
Important Note on Time and Medical Advice
If additional advice regarding medical conditions, analgesia, or treatment planning is required beyond the scope of the booked appointment, this time will be charged accordingly. It is not always possible to extend appointments on the day without delaying other patients, and a separate phone or Zoom consultation may be recommended. If you are aware of specific issues you would like to discuss, please let me know in advance so appropriate time can be scheduled.
