Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a complete system of diagnosis in its own right. It is able to treat almost all problems of ill health. In some cases it can cure an illness completely, whilst with other serious illnesses, such as cancer, it can help counteract the problematic symptoms created by prescribed drugs, as well as help with pain relief.

The degree to which acupuncture can help will depend on the individual case, how long the problem has existed and the response of the patient. An initial consultation with the acupuncturist will determine how acupuncture can help.

We are able to help with:

Anxiety Depression Insomnia Menopause PMT Infertility Skin Problems Digestive Problems	Irritable Bowel Syndrome Musculoskeletal Pain Tiredness Headache Hayfever Asthma Sinusitis

Our fully trained team use a dry needling technique (not to be confused with Traditional Chinese Medicine). There is good evidence that this form of treatment works well in conjunction with general chiropractic care.

Does it work?

Acupuncture is recognised by the World Health Organisation as an effective form of treatment. It is often practiced in your local hospitals and GPs are increasingly accepting the validity of acupuncture as one of the most valuable complementary therapies.

According to the British Medical Association Report in June 2002, 80% of GPs said that they would like to see acupuncture available on the NHS.
