The Clifton Practice, Bristol
# Gemma Alexander Acupuncture
Gemma Alexander Acupuncture operates from two locations in Bristol—Knowle and the Clifton Practice—offering traditional Chinese medicine to address both acute and chronic health conditions. With 15 years of clinical experience, Gemma is a degree-level trained acupracitioner and accredited member of both the British Acupuncture Council and the Acupuncture Fertility Network.
The practice specialises in treating sports injuries, musculoskeletal pain, migraines, headaches, menopausal symptoms, fertility issues and menstrual disorders. Gemma has particular expertise in helping clients manage stress, anxiety and insomnia—conditions increasingly affecting modern patients seeking drug-free alternatives.
What distinguishes this practice is its holistic approach. Rather than simply treating symptoms, Gemma identifies and addresses underlying imbalances, often resulting in unexpected improvements beyond the primary complaint. Clients frequently report better sleep, increased energy and resolution of secondary health issues.
Beyond traditional acupuncture needling, the practice employs complementary techniques including moxibustion (therapeutic heat), cupping (to stimulate blood flow and clear stagnation) and gua sha (therapeutic scraping). Gemma also provides tailored diet and lifestyle advice when appropriate.
The practice offers accessibility through flexible scheduling, including evening and weekend appointments by request, and a free 15-minute phone consultation to determine whether acupuncture suits individual needs. Gemma has been independently rated as one of Bristol's top acupuncturists by Three Best Rated.
