Fantastic experience: First time at True Health - Great experience today Irina was the ultimate professional, arrived in pain and whilst it might not be all gone it’s bearable now. I’ll be back next week for another session
Thank you Julie for taking the time to leave this review. Hopefully, the pain will ease more with each treatment session.
Best wishes,
Irina
Fantastic experience: Alan definitely has healing hands. He over the years has always accurately discerned the problem. He then goes on to treat it successfully.
Thank you so much Elisabeth, I will pass your feedback onto Alan.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Phil once a month for a few months now and can honestly say that it has been life changing. When I first came to him, I was anxious, fearful, and not feeling particularly positive about life, I was constantly in pain and suffering headaches almost daily. I’d seen countless physiotherapists, been given so many different medications, but never really felt like I was getting anywhere. Since starting my sessions with Phil, my pain levels have decreased dramatically, and I’ve found myself much more able to take positive steps towards not only maintaining my physical health but looking at ways of improving it too. For the first time in over 25 years, I don’t feel like a lost cause. Phil is an excellent practitioner, but on top of that he is intuitive, intelligent, observant, and really easy to talk to, I cannot recommend him enough!
Thank you for such an amazing review! I'm glad you are feeling so much better and will pass on your comments to Phil.

Fantastic experience: I have returned to Irina to work on a stiff shoulder. She really listens to my needs and manages to pin point the right spot every time!
Thank you, Charlene. It’s my pleasure and I’m glad to be able to help. Irina :-)
Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed my first session, Philip was attentive, easy to talk to, explained things really well, and put me right at ease. I slept like a baby last night. Woke up surprisingly pain free (for a change) and am feeling very positive about future treatments and the effect they will have on both my physical and mental well-being ⭐️
Fen Fae,
Thank you so much for leaving your review. I'm glad that your acupuncture consultation and treatment went well and that you are already experiencing positive changes. I'm sure you will continue to improve in the forthcoming weeks in Philip's care.
Best wishes,
Irina and the team.
Fantastic experience: A client for 23years I have complete confidence in Alan.
Thank you, Megan, as always, it is my pleasure to help.
Best wishes,
Alan
Fantastic experience: I have visited True Health for many years and Alan has always been able to solve issues with my back. I have been pleased that there is no pressure to book follow up appointments and one appointment has often been enough.
Hi Simon,
Thank you so much for your kind words. I am glad to hear that my treatments have been successful in helping with your back pain issues. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.
Warm regards,
Alan
Fantastic experience: My family have used Alan for various ailments for a number of years. Yesterday I hobbled in, doubled over and in a lot of pain. After just one session, I am walking upright and whilst still in pain, much more comfortable. I can't recommend Alan highly enough, he is a magician!
Hi Helen,
Thank you so much for your kind review. I am very pleased to hear that you are feeling more comfortable, and I hope you will continue to make steady progress.
Warm regards,
Alan
Fantastic experience: Alan was absolutely brilliant, and very patient with my awful explanations to things and rambling on! Alan took care to do lots of tests to figure out what, where/why the problem was. In doing this we also found out some other stiffness and areas that I should look at and gave me a lot of great advice and techniques to improve the problems we found. Overall I felt very comfortable during my experience with Alan and found him to be worth absolutely every penny. Thank you so much Alan!!!
Hello Ellie,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a kind and generous review. I am glad you found the consultation useful.
Alan
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, very knowledgeable and addressed all issues! Thanks
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, Micah. It really helps.
With our best wishes,
Irina and the team.
Fantastic experience: I have had acupuncture with Irina for a number of months now. She has treated me for my infertility, and throughout my second round of IVF. This lead to a successful round and we are now 9+4 weeks pregnant, with 2 frozen embryos stored too. Alongside the calm of the acupuncture, Irina’s experience and knowledge has been extremely helpful and reassuring and she has helped me manage the overwhelming stress and worry that comes with fertility treatment. I am so grateful I found Irina and invested in acupuncture with her during my fertility treatment!
Kirsty,
Thank you so much for sharing your story and leaving a positive review. It's been my pleasure to work with you. Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy!
Kind regards,
Irina
Fantastic experience: Made me fill very at ease and explained what was happening in my arm
Thank you so much for leaving the review, Tracy.
Fantastic experience: As always Alan has made a huge difference in just one session. I trust Alan implicitly and he is always able to diagnose the cause and treat my symptoms enabling me to function normally again. Professional, outstanding in his field, I can’t recommend him highly enough.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, Ellie. We are glad to have been able to help you and that you trust Alan implicitly. That means a lot to us.
We hope to be able to continue helping you in the future.
Kind regards,
Irina and the team.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic care as always-
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your rating for us. It means a lot.
Fantastic experience: Treatment helps me tremendously with paresthesia in my arm and anxiety, highly recommended.
Thank you so much, Mrs Wojcik, for leaving your feedback. It's very kind of you to take the time to do this. I'm very pleased to hear that you are improving. Kind regards, Irina
Fantastic experience: Phil has relieved me of pain and inbalances which I have suffered from for years. Acupuncture works! And I cannot recommend this professional enough. I shall continue to be Phils dartboard for the foresable future!
Hello Liam,
Thank you for leaving a positive review about your treatment with Phil. We are glad you will continue to be his "darboard" and, hopefully, will feel better as a result ;-)
Kind regards,
Irina
Fantastic experience: Only had a phone call at the moment but really impressed with the understanding of my problem booked a visit for friday
Thank you, Ann.
I'm glad you have found the initial phone consultation helpful. I hope the next visit will be equally informative.
Kind regards,
Alan
Fantastic experience: Philips is always very warm, friendly and professional. I always leave feeling extremely satisfied with the service I receive I would HIGHLY recommend him for acupuncture
Thank you, Charlie. Philip is a great acupuncturist and colleague and always takes good care of his patients. We are glad he is part of our team and you enjoy your treatment.
Kind regards,
Irina
Fantastic experience: Very well organised web site to get an appointment. This was my first experience of osteopathy and as a doctor myself, I'm impressed. Alan Szmelskyj is a very experienced therapist. His approach is very thorough, taking a careful history and very complete musculoskeletal examination before suggesting possible diagnoses and a plan of treatment. His osteopathic treatment was gentle but firm and I think I'm already feeling the benefit. Highly recommended
Dear Dr Quick,
Thank you for your positive and thoughtful feedback.
Alan
Fantastic experience: Very comprehensive, expert and thorough examination and assessment with a number of insightful observations and recommendations. Excellent value for money. Thank you Alan.
Norma, thank you so much for leaving a positive review of your consultation with Alan and that you feel it was excellent value for money.
Best wishes,
Irina and the team
Fantastic experience: Put as at ease from the moment I arrived the procedure was explained in layman’s turns the expectation and what hoped to be achieved explained quite simply clean professional setting The results after two appointments are a significant improvement good advice as to how maintain my situation to avoid further pain excellent I would highly recommend this treatment to anyone
Hi Martin. I'm glad you are improving and that you enjoyed your visits. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Best wishes, Irina
Fantastic experience: I would wholeheartedly recommend Acupuncture with Irina.
Thank you so much, Kerry. It was my pleasure to have you as a patient. Best wishes, Irina :-)
Fantastic experience: Excellent service- very understanding and thorough! Some 12 hours later I think my lower back is on the road to recovery.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your osteopathic consultation.
We think it is essential that each patient receives a thorough assessment to ensure that their treatment is appropriate, effective, and safe. We are glad that you were able to experience this with us.
We hope your back continues to improve.
Fantastic experience: Professional treatment and realistic outcome dependent on cause Friendly staff
Thank you so much Teresa for your positive feedback. It means a lot to Alan and the rest of our team. Irina
Fantastic experience: Excellent is all i can say. I always enjoy seeing Irina and having the acupuncture (well once the needles are in anyway!). Whilst it is hard to know if it is really doing anything, I do feel like this is a contributor for where I am now (happily 12+ weeks pregnant after years of heartache and failures). And I can't deny the evidence in front of me. I like how knowledgeable and professional she is, and she always goes that extra bit further to make me feel important and deserving of her time. After being initially sceptical on acupuncture, I am definitely now in a position to say that I would recommend it. Though I would only trust True Health and wouldn't want to try elsewhere.
Thank you, Angela! Your post has made my Christmas :-)
Best Wishes for 2021,
Irina
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic, the service and support I received from True Health Clinic was superb. I would highly recommend True Health. Irina and the staff always go out of there way to help and give support. I used them in early pregnancy for 2 pregnancies and they were wonderful in giving support, even sometimes outside of my appointment, with any questions on my treatment by email, which was such a help. With my 2nd pregnancy, attending True Health, they were flexible in allowing me to bring my toddler to the appointment and treated him so well. I honestly feel the support and treatment I received in both pregnancies was amazing and helped me have healthy and less anxious pregnancies, particularly in early pregnancy which was a particularly stressful time for me.
Thank you, Laura, for leaving a positive review. I hope you are keeping well. Irina
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Irina highly enough for the help and support she gave through my IVF journey. We had been trying to conceive for nearly 4 years and suffered ectopics and a miscarriage before being told we could start our IVF journey. Before I started I went to see Irina and from that first meeting she couldn’t do enough for me from phone calls to late night emails throughout my IVF treatment. We now have a beautiful 2 year old that is more incredible than we could have ever have dreamed of. It is very clear to see how much Irina loves what she does and has so much compassion and dedication in the treatment she provides. Kelly
Thank you so much, Kelly, for leaving a positive review. I hope you and your family are all well. Irina
Fantastic experience: I met with Irina for the first time a few months go. She was fantastic and really spent a lot of time getting to know my specific situation and problems. She makes sure you understand everything she is doing, before she does it, which is important. We had a great conversation about how she could help and I always look forward to going back!
Thank you so much, Keri!
Best Wishes,
Irina
Fantastic experience: My tennis elbow was fixed. I went to 10 different places before and I was in pain but since I visited the clinic, I can play again! Thank you! Also I am doing beauty acupuncture and I got comments from people I look younger. I strongly recommend this clinic!!!
Thank you, Keiko, hope to see you again soon. Irina
Fantastic experience: Alan Szmelskyj was very thorough and understanding of my back problems ,i am feeling so much better this morning and would contact him again should i have any further problems.
Thank you, Brian, for finding the time to post your review. It means a lot to us.
Fantastic experience: True Health Clinics has been sorting my back out since 2006.Alan is great, the experience and knowledge Alan has is outstanding, he puts you at ease right from the start.Booking is a doddle , the receptionists are super friendly. Happy days !
Fantastic experience: Irina Szmelskyj treated me for a number of years, mainly related to my ivf treatments. Throughout the time I was going to her, I found her care and professionalism to be absolutely outstanding. Not only did I eventually become pregnant (and I do put this partly down to the acupuncture I had) but the emotional support I received from her as a person (and undoubtedly also due to the acupuncture) was invaluable. She is a really kind and warm person, but also absolutely committed to her profession, reading widely and keeping up to date with current thinking. It is no surprise that she combines practising with teaching and is the author of a major book. I would recommend her without reservation.
Fantastic experience: Irina has successfully prepared by body for two IVF babies, pregnancy and birth. She has an amazing knowledge and understanding of women’s health, expertise in accupuncture and such a high level of care. I continue to come for treatment for general well-being and migraines and have recommended Irina to many friends over the years.
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a professional acupuncturist, Irina and True Health Clinic is the place for you. I know that so many people offer acupuncture, but you need to be very careful when choosing one. It is amazing how acupuncture works, but it only works when it's done by a qualified and experienced person. I have been guided and treated by Irina, who understood my problems, offered holistic approach and provided with acupuncture sessions tailored to my needs. I am very grateful for her help. 5 stars from me! Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: I have had acupuncture from both Irina and Phil for some time and have always received a high quality service from them both. I have felt that the treatment I have received was beneficial for me - both mentally and physically. I have and would recommend their service to others.
Fantastic experience: Top class specialists, wonderful environment, friendly staff. I enjoy my visits.
Fantastic experience: I have been attending regular accupuncture with Irina for several years. I can honestly say the treatment, knowledge and care I have received has been second to none. Having gone through several rounds of IVF, Irina has helped to relieve the debilitating symptoms associated with this and provided expert advice. Her knowledge around infertility and IVF is outstanding and she has on several occasions suggested tests and options that even the doctors hadn’t mentioned at that point. Irina goes above and beyond for her patients and frequently emails out of hours with advise and support. She has also come in for treatment on her days off for me! I don’t think this level of service is common in other practices. I would recommend True Health Clinics to anyone, especially those going through fertility issues. I am now happily pregnant with twins. Thank you Irina!
Fantastic experience: Amazing support and treatment.
Fantastic experience: I started my treatment a number of years ago when I was struggling to conceive. I saw Irina weekly at this time and she was with me on my 4 year journey to conceive. The advice Irina gave me along with the acupuncture helped me on my journey and I eventually had healthy twin boys. I continued to have acupuncture monthly as a top up and to help me feel balanced. It also greatly helped a shoulder injury. I cannot recommend Irina enough, without her I would not have my family. She has been a great support to me over the years and I am forever grateful.
Fantastic experience: Had acupuncture with Irina cannot recommend highly enough. Her skill and knowledge is second to none.
Fantastic experience: I have been having treatment with Alan for my neck and back and various other places after sports injuries. I have been going to Alan since he came to Huntingdon about 35 years ago and have always been very satisfied. The atmosphere in the treatment room is relaxing. I have also had Acupuncture with Irina too which helped the Arthritis in my thumb.
Fantastic experience: Highly professional service with excellent knowledge of how best to address my issues. Very thorough treatment and after care. Would not hesitate to recommend Alan and True Health Clinics.
Fantastic experience: Irina helped me with both my pregnancies. She really concentrated on my body”s weaknesses and when the time was right I got pregnant. She was highly knowledgeable not just about acupuncture but my pregnancies in general pre, during and post. She was truly amazing. After 10 years of trying her help and support were invaluable. We had tried virtually everything without success until I met Irina. We were a team and she supported me throughout. I had absolute faith in her abilities.
Fantastic experience: From the very first contact I made with Irina I knew I had finally found the support I needed for my pregnancy journey. Irina had a natural empathy and drive to help me when I had suffered repeated miscarriages and heartache and there had been no reason found as to why. She offered up refreshing new advice based on her vast experience within the field which complemented her acupuncture treatments. I turned to Irina for acupuncture in 2012, which coincided with a successful conception later that month, and never looked back. I believe my first child, now 7, would not have been here had I not visited Irina for acupuncture sessions at a time that my pregnancy was most vulnerable and appeared to be failing. Irina went above and beyond for me and responded to any issues or doubts I had in those first ‘tricky’ months with true compassion and professionalism. I felt thoroughly supported and reassured by her throughout my visits and outside of my visits as she was always there at the end of the phone or email when I needed her. I have, and always will, recommend Irina to people suffering pregnancy loss and/or unexplained infertility. I know she has a special place in my and other people’s hearts because she stands out from the crowd in this field.
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Irina highly enough, particularly to any woman who is trying to conceive, is getting ready for IVF or is pregnant. Not only did Irina’s acupuncture treatments result in a healthy pregnancy after years of heartache miscarrying many times and then not being able to conceive at all, but she supported me well above and beyond the call of duty during those worrying pregnancy months. Irina is a skilled and highly experienced acupuncturist, has a real empathy for the people she treats and her integrity and passion shine through in bucket loads.
Fantastic experience: Irina is a true expert in her field. Her support and advice is both informative and reassuring, and the treatments effective. I would highly recommend Irina (and have done so to many of my friends!).
Fantastic experience: Visited Irina for treatment for approximately 13 months. Immediately felt at ease and trusted the treatment that was recommended. I looked forward to my appointment every week and really valued the advice and support that I received. Would not hesitate to recommend!
Fantastic experience: I had the privilege of meeting Irina In 2012 while I was undergoing fertility treatment. True health clinics for Acupuncture came highly recommended to me to support my ivf treatment, I met with Irina for our initial appointment and I instantly felt at ease with her kindness, knowledge and professionalism. I had Acupunture appointments regularly throughout all of my ivf treatment, and I’m happy to say my Ivf and treatments were successful and I have a beautiful daughter now. I personally love acupuncture and know it works for me, and would highly recommended Irina to anyone who wants to try Acupuncture for any condition.
Fantastic experience: I found Irina’s clinic when I was trying to conceive a number of years ago, and was drawn to her passion and knowledge around fertility. I became a very regular acupuncture client over a number of years, with Irina supporting me through numerous IVF cycles. Her expertise and knowledge is exceptional, and the support I received both during and in between sessions was outstanding. She truly goes the extra mile to help you to piece together your fertility jigsaw. She was diligent in ensuring I got a second opinion about a thyroid issue, which resulted in a cancer diagnosis which would otherwise have remained undetected. With Irina’s support, I went on to recover from that bump in the road, with a successful round of IVF followed by a natural pregnancy, both of which she supported me with up to 12 weeks. Inspired in part by her work, I went on to retrain as a therapist myself & my approach to my business is very much inspired by how Irina helped me during some very dark times - she will always have a very special place in the heart of me & my family. 5 stars really aren’t enough!
Fantastic experience: Alan is professional, reassuring and patient - listening to my long list woe's and worries and providing some great expertise, opinions and feedback on my options. Worth every penny so far!
Fantastic experience: Both Irina and Philip were very knowledgeable and friendly and had a lot of advice to improve my chances of conception. A mixture of their efforts and recommendations meant that I went from not conceiving to being a mum of two. So glad I used them.
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Irina for some time, but have recently had to undergo several months of chemotherapy. Throughout this treatment, Irina has addressed and treated every new side effect. Her treatment and constant reassurance has done much to help me through what has been a very difficult time.
Fantastic experience: My last appointment was in January 2020 because I am moving house, I just wish I could take this clinic with me. I can highly recommend Alan Szmelskyj. He has kept me pain free and active with no need for drugs. Thank you so much. Wendy Williams Hilton PS posted using family member google account.
