Although
sometimes described merely as a means of pain relief, traditional
acupuncture is actually used to treat people with a wide range
of illnesses.
Its
focus is on improving the overall wellbeing of the patient,
rather than the isolated treatment of specific symptoms.

With
careful diagnosis, examination of the pulse and tongue and taking
a full case history, acupuncture can address the cause of all
symptoms. It can treat distress at physical, mental and emotional
levels.
The
following conditions are commonly treated using acupuncture:
• amenorrhoea, irregular or painful periods
• anaemia
• bowel dysfunction
• digestive and respiratory problems
•
emotional issues, depression,
anxiety, stress,
insomnia
•
headache, migraine
• high or low blood pressure
• low immune function
• male and female problems with sub fertility,
miscarriage
• chronic and acute pain
• PMT
• skin
problem
• Weight management
You
may simply be feeling out of sorts, not at your best and want
to improve your health. Acupuncture can also support people
with major life changes where emotional life is under duress.
