CAN ACUPUNCTURE HELP YOU?
A wide variety of people of all ages come for treatment. For many, acupuncture is the first choice of treatment, whilst others find it extremely beneficial, when other forms of treatment have been unsuccessful. It can also work well alongside Western medicine. Some of the problems and illnesses commonly treated are:
Physical Problems: (both long-standing and acute) e.g. back pain, sciatica, arthritis, rheumatism, circulatory problems, high blood pressure, menstrual problems, migraines, skin conditions, asthma, digestive problems, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease and indeterminate aches and pains.
"Stop Press - The new NICE (National Institute of Clinical Excellence) issued at the end of May, says that a careful review of the evidence on the treatment of low back pain, shows that acupuncture works! It positively recomends that the NHS should provide acupuncture."
Emotional and mental health problems: e.g. depression, anxiety, insomnia, PMT, stress, bereavement and feeling cut off from ones emotions.
Fertility and Pregnancy problems: female and male treatment, alongside IVF, before and after embryo transfer.
Giving Up Smoking: Auricular (ear) acupuncture can be extremely effective
Extensive practice and research have shown acupuncture’s effectiveness in helping these and many other conditions.
The effect of good acupuncture, however, is to do more than simply cure the symptom. Acupuncture directed at restoring the overall energy balance will deal with the condition and also help the patient feel better in a general way e.g. increased energy and vitality, greater enjoyment of life, greater confidence, better sleep or more normal appetite.
There are some people who feel quite unwell in themselves, but do not have a named condition. Traditional acupuncture can diagnose the imbalance
and restore the person’s general well being.
