Trusted Healthcare Partners in Middlesbrough & Teesside

Here for You

When it comes to your health, I only ever recommend people I’d confidently send my own family to.

Over the years, I’ve built relationships with incredible local clinicians who share the same values we live by here at Deanna Thomas – Acupuncture & Wellbeing: compassion, evidence-based care, and a heart-centred approach to helping you feel better in mind, body, and spirit.

Your healing journey doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Every step you take is a step toward balance, clarity, and feeling more like yourself again.

And if you ever need support beyond what we offer in clinic, these are the trusted practitioners and specialist teams I believe in — people who care deeply, listen fully, and work in harmony with what we do.

You’re not doing this alone. You’re building a circle of support around your wellbeing.

If your feet, ankles, or lower legs are in pain, Teesside Podiatry are the team I trust completely.

They’re a specialist foot and ankle clinic based right here in the same building as our acupuncture clinic, making support even more accessible, and they also have a second clinic in Greatham, Hartlepool. 

They offer everything from general podiatry and nail surgery to sports injury rehab, gait analysis, orthotics, and shockwave therapy for stubborn conditions like plantar fasciitis and tendonitis.

I love referring to them because:

• They really know their stuff, especially when it comes to complex foot and lower-limb pain.

• They take time to explain everything in a clear, down-to-earth way.

• Their work fits beautifully alongside acupuncture,  especially for long-term pain, running injuries, mobility issues, and anyone who needs that extra layer of support.

Great if you’re struggling with:

• Heel pain, plantar fasciitis, or arch pain

• Ingrown or problem toenails

• Sports and running injuries

• Diabetic foot health and ongoing foot care

How to connect: Just ask me in clinic and I’ll happily point you in the right direction. Or you can head straight to their website and book directly.

For consultant-led women’s health, ultrasound, and gynaecology support, I recommend Consultants Choice Clinic in Stockton-on-Tees.

They offer private appointments with experienced consultants and specialist sonographers, including services for pelvic pain, heavy or irregular bleeding, fibroids, ovarian cysts, PCOS, menopause concerns, and fertility-related investigations. 

Why I’m happy to refer here:

• Consultant-led care with a strong focus on women’s health

• Access to timely ultrasound scans and investigations

• Support with complex gynaecological and fertility-related concerns

• A calm, private setting that helps you feel heard and respected

They may be a good fit if you:

• Need a gynaecology review or second opinion

• Want a private ultrasound scan for pelvic or fertility concerns

• Are navigating conditions such as endometriosis, PCOS, or heavy periods

• Want clarity on next steps alongside your acupuncture and lifestyle work
