Here at the Porcupine Clinic, we believe in the power of traditional acupuncture to bring balance and harmony to the body, mind, and spirit. Our licensed acupuncturist, Jemma Atherden, has dedicated her career to helping individuals of all ages overcome a wide range of physical and emotional conditions through the ancient art of acupuncture.
Our Story
Jemma's passion for acupuncture led her to undertake a degree course in the practice while still working in a high-pressured full-time sales job in London. Her long-term goal was to set up a clinic where she could treat patients full-time, and after completing her course, she spent six years treating clients in Berkshire before making the move to Staffordshire to be closer to friends and family. Since making the move, Jemma has realized her dream of practicing acupuncture full-time, treating patients from her established, licensed clinic in Stafford.
Our Approach
At the Porcupine Clinic, we understand that every individual is unique, with their own set of physical and emotional needs. That's why we take a holistic approach to wellbeing, using acupuncture to treat the whole person, rather than just the symptoms of a condition. Our treatment approach combines the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Five Element methods to create a unique and effective treatment plan tailored to each individual's needs.
Our Services
We offer acupuncture treatments for adults and children, using a range of techniques to promote relaxation, alleviate pain, and restore balance to the body. From sports injuries and migraines to infertility, anxiety, and depression, we've seen the positive impact that acupuncture can have on people's lives. Our clinic provides a safe, comfortable, and relaxed environment, where you can feel free to discuss your concerns and work together with Jemma to create a treatment plan that suits your individual needs.
Our Mission
At the Porcupine Clinic, our mission is to provide compassionate, high-quality acupuncture care that empowers individuals to take control of their health and wellbeing. We believe that everyone deserves to live a life free from pain and discomfort, and we're committed to helping you achieve that.
