Dr Richard Halvorsen

I established the City Acupuncture Clinic in 2006 to offer the highest quality acupuncture to those working or living in or near the City of London.

I qualified in medicine at The Middlesex Hospital, London, in 1982. Soon after graduating I studied acupuncture for 2 years at the British College of Acupuncture in London. I have since studied both traditional Chinese and western medical acupuncture in China and the UK. I have practiced acupuncture for 25 years.

I worked as a GP in central London for over 20 year where I integrated acupuncture, and other complementary therapies, into orthodox general medical practice.

In 2009 I left the NHS to concentrate on my work in the private sector.

What is acupuncture?

Simply, acupuncture is the insertion of needles under the skin to treat disease.
It is an ancient system of medicine that has been practiced for over 200 years in the East. but has only gained acceptance in the West over the last 50 years.
