What can Acupuncture treat?

Many people come to acupuncture  for help with specific symptoms or conditions. These might include anxiety states, arthritis, asthma, back pain, circulatory problems, depression, facial paralysis, fibrositis, high blood pressure, indeterminate aches and pains, infertility, menstrual problems, migraines, rheumatism, sciatica, skin conditions or ulcers.

Acupuncture is a safe treatment for all. It has proved to be effective in pregnancy management and for the relief of pain in childbirth. Acupuncture is also helpful for people trying to overcome addictions such as those related to smoking, alcohol, food or drugs. Some people 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 in combination with conventional medicine in the treatment of both acute and chronic disease.

The benefits of acupuncture are frequently more than just relief of a particular condition. A large proportion of people also experience increased energy levels, a better appetite and sleep more soundly, producing a greater sense of well being.
