About Acupuncture

Acupuncture has a proven effective track record in treating many conditions, such as:

• Arthritis, lower back pain, chronic neck and shoulder tension/pain, RSI and other musculoskeletal conditions.
• Headache and migraine.
• Gynaecological conditions such as PMT, period pain, heavy periods; menopausal symptoms; infertility; conditions of pregnancy such as nausea, back pain, etc; post-natal support.
• Anxiety, depression, insomnia and other mental-emotional conditions.
• IBS and other digestive disorders.
• Asthma.
• ME and chronic fatigue syndrome.
  

Acupuncture is an holistic treatment, encouraging the patient's own healing capabilities by needling specific points on the body. Essentially acupuncture rebalances one's internal 'energetic' functioning, which can be pulled out of balance by the stresses and strains of daily life. Due to this process of 'rebalancing', patients often report an improved sense of well-being after acupuncture, regardless of what specific symptoms they may have sought treatment for.
