Testimonials
" I first went to see Sean Heneghan as I was both emotionally and physically at an all time low. I had constant pain associated with bowel and bladder problems following surgeries during 2009, I was also suffering with anxiety attacks and depression as I felt I would never be ok again. After 1 session with Sean Heneghan, the pain I was feeling in my bladder region was gone, and I was able to stop taking prescription pain killers. My anxiety and depression has completely gone and I felt this relief after only a few sessions, I now feel completely balanced, this is entirely down to Sean and his wonderful way of listening carefully and understanding my needs with acupuncture."
Annie Mullane, Milton Keynes, April 2010
"I had experienced many stress-related conditions for a long while including muscular pains and tension, anxiety and insomnia. After trying many different therapies with little improvement, I sought acupuncture as a last resort and have been amazed with the results.
The pain I had suffered in my shoulders for a decade disappeared instantaneously, I feel more and more deeply relaxed, and I sleep better now than frankly I ever realized was possible! This has in turn, had a huge, positive impact on my energy levels and other aspects of my life.
Sean has a very calm manner and is clearly passionate and focused on helping his patients achieve good, long-term results – I would certainly recommend acupuncture with Sean Heneghan."

"I would like to say how wonderfully helpful it has been for me to be treated by Sean Heneghan. I had never tried acupuncture before, though I was curious about it. After being bereaved, suffering sleep problems (sleep walking and talking, grinding my teeth), general anxiety and a feeling of being completely 'out of balance' I emailed Sean to see if he thought acupuncture might help me. After the first session, I felt almost immediately better and have had the best period of undisturbed sleep for months.
I am continuing with the treatment and would encourage anyone with similar problems to try it. Sean is very caring and he takes time to explain the principles and reasoning behind the discipline. I am very impressed - and have recommended a work colleague and my partner to see him already."

"I have tried other “alternative” practitioners, and still see a chiropractor, but had always avoided acupuncture, for that popular reason of fear of needles. But when Sean joined the clinic at Milton Keynes I decided to give him a try. At the time I was suffering from “golfers elbow” a painful condition restricting my main hobby.
The first appointment was for 1˝ hours, and for the first 45 minutes we discussed my complete medical history in a very relaxed way before any needles were produced. I can honestly say I never felt any of these ultra thin needles being inserted in several points of my arm and neck. There followed a brief period of total relaxation, where I almost dropped off to sleep before the needles were removed.
I have returned for several further appointments, both on my elbow and for a stiff neck, and I am happy to say there has been a dramatic improvement in both conditions and I am able to continue playing golf with hardly a twinge of discomfort.
Sean has a very relaxed style of treatment and has that all important quality of communication between him and his patient, so often lacking within the medical profession. I believe he has a lot to offer many people seeking relief from a wide range conditions, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed."

"I started going to Sean in 2007. I had been having a series of viruses, usually every 12 to 14 days and lasting between 2 to 3 days. I knew that my immune system needed boosting as I had suffered something very similar 20 years earlier when I was diagnosed with M.E. A friend recommended acupuncture, and Sean in particular, and I can honestly say that I have never looked back. In over 2 years I have not had 1 viral infection. "
Mrs E, Buckinghamshire
"I contacted Sean hoping that acupuncture would be able to help with my menopausal symptoms and additionally headaches, dizziness, stress and anxiety.
During my first consultation with Sean it seemed that at last someone was listening to me properly. After several weeks of treatment I began to feel happier, experience fewer headaches, and noticed a reduction in anxiety and stress levels. Now after further treatments there have been remarkable changes in my wellbeing in many different areas. I feel that I have rediscovered my sense of self and I feel more relaxed and positive. The severity of all my symptoms has diminished considerably – even other people have been impressed by the improvements. I am very happy with the results so far and am continuing with treatment.
Sean is professional, dedicated and intuitive in his approach and I have no doubt that under his care, acupuncture has been a life changing experience for me."
Mrs Susan Bell, Hertfordshire
"Who needs HRT when you have a Sean!
Both my mother and sister had experienced hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, crashing headaches and more, as I was heading that way I consulted Sean and have been seeing him monthly for 2 and a half years and over this time have been treated holistically (you can't be treated any other way with acupuncture). My symptoms have been very much less severe than I was expecting and although he couldn't promise removal of the hot flushes altogether they have been very much fewer than my sister and my Mum's. I have also received huge relief for a pinched nerve in my neck which was causing tingling and pain in my hand, thumb and arm which had not been helped by either a Chiropractor or Physio but is now completely better. My mother is terminally ill and the sadness of this has also been alleviated with Sean's quiet, kind, straightforward help.....
Oh if only he was available on the NHS!. "
Jane Hay, Berkhamsted
I initially visited Sean for lots of different reasons - tension/anxiety headaches, stress, and I was also unable to sleep.
After my first consultation, I was advised that 6 sessions would be beneficial. Within 3 sessions, I began to see a difference and after the full 6, I found that that my whole well being was greatly improved.
As well as acupuncture, Sean also provided advice on my diet and lifestyle which has proved very helpful.
I find acupuncture a very relaxing experience and under Sean’s care it was an immense benefitMrs. S, Berkhamsted
I first visited Sean in October 2006 after suffering neck problems, depression and stress for a long period, which resulted in high blood pressure. Since then the results have been wonderful, my blood pressure is down and I would recommend the treatment to anyone.
Sean is now treating me for arthritis – I am 80 years old. Sean is a charming young man and very approachable.
Mrs. Smith, Berkhamsted
Acupuncture is for me tremendously calming in times of stress. Most helpful is the treatment of arthritis and a boost to my general well-being.
Sean is a truly professional practitioner.
Mrs. Jefferies, Buckinghamshire
"I had suffered with a high level anxiety disorder for a while accompanied by panic attacks, and this in turn caused high blood pressure.
After trying, (and failing many times) to help myself, I came across Sean’s advertisement, and I am extremely pleased I did.
After my initial consultation and diagnosis I had 6 treatments with Sean on a weekly basis. I can honestly say that, right from the first treatment I have not had another full blown panic attack, my blood pressure was reduced by 20% after a few weeks to a normal level, and by the end of the 6 week treatment my anxiety had disappeared.
Sean listens; he is also extremely professional, approachable and thorough."
Mrs R, Hertfordshire
"For years I have had different treatments, including massage, and osteopathy to treat my persistent tension headaches and anxiety. I found that I obtained immediate, but short-lived relief of the headaches, and the anxiety always remained. I was tired of this pattern, and wanted lasting relief so I went for an assessment with Sean to see if Acupuncture could help me. Sean’s calm manner put me at ease, and despite my fear of needles, I have had several treatments now with wonderful results.
I no longer suffer from headaches, and my anxiety has all but disappeared. I feel so much brighter, more relaxed and more alive! I had grown used to waking up to that “ho hum” feeling of getting ready to battle another day, but I now look forward to enjoying my day. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking about having acupuncture to schedule a visit with Sean."
