Medical acupuncture is carried out by doctors who use acupuncture as part of their wider medical knowledge. Dr Farrukh draws on both medical and Chinese approaches, choosing the method that best suits each patient’s symptoms.
Dr Farrukh often supports patients with digestive issues such as abdominal pain, reflux, bloating, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and IBS. She also treats joint and muscle pain – for example, knee, hip, shoulder, and back pain – as well as plantar fasciitis.
Studies suggest that acupuncture can help calm inflammation in the digestive system, settle nausea, and improve bowel function. Many patients notice it helps ease flare-ups or ongoing discomfort when used alongside their usual medical treatment.
Yes. Acupuncture is well known for its role in pain control. Because Dr Farrukh also has a Masters in Pain Management, she is able to combine her medical training with acupuncture to help people manage long-term joint, muscle, or back pain.
Most people feel some improvement after just a few sessions. If it’s working for you, Dr Farrukh will often show you simple self-treatment techniques so that you can continue looking after your symptoms at home.
When performed by a trained doctor, acupuncture is considered very safe. Dr Farrukh is a trustee of the British Medical Acupuncture Society and follows strict professional standards in all her treatments.
The first consultation, which includes a full assessment, is £225. Follow-up appointments are £150. During your first visit you’ll go through your health history and treatment plan together.
Yes, acupuncture is often used alongside standard medical care. Dr Farrukh’s background as a physician and gastroenterologist means she can safely integrate acupuncture with your existing treatment.
Dr Farrukh is a consultant gastroenterologist with more than ten years’ experience in acupuncture. She has published research in the field, sits on the council of the British Medical Acupuncture Society, and is particularly interested in digestive health and pain management.
