What can acupuncture do for you ?
Acupuncture is a system of natural healing that has been used successfully by a large section of the world's population for over 2000 years. Although its origins are ancient, it is subject to continuous review and is as beneficial today as it was to the early oriental cultures. It is a non-invasive system of medicine that helps the body heal itself with out the use of strong
drugs.
Acupuncture is still as popular today and is used in Chinese hospitals alongside Western medicine as it has proved to be as effective, and in some instances more effective than drug therapy.
What does acupuncture treat?
Because acupuncture developed as a system of medicine it is used to treat a wide range of disease and illnesses. Many people come for treatment for help with specific symptoms or conditions. These might include anxiety states,
arthritis,
asthma, back pain, circulatory problems,
depression, facial paralysis,
high blood pressure,
migraines, skin conditions or digestive problems.
Acupuncture is also helpful for people trying to overcome
addictions such as those related to smoking, alcohol, food or drugs. Some people may have acupuncture as a preventative measure to strengthen their constitution, or because they feel unwell in themselves without being 'ill' in the Western sense. It can also be used alongside conventional medicine in the treatment of both acute and chronic disease.
