What can Acupuncture treat? The basis of Traditional Acupuncture practice is that it treats the root of the problem. Its focus is on improving the overall wellbeing of the patient, rather than the isolated treatment of specific symptoms. Treating the root is at the heart of our work at City Acupuncture. However, as modern research into this ancient system of medicine continues, certain conditions are now clearly shown to benefit from acupuncture. Acupuncture is now considered effective for a whole range of conditions. The practitioners commonly treat defined complaints such as back pain, arthritis, asthma and circulatory problems. The less defined feelings of dizziness, lethargy, ill health, anxiety, and nausea that prevent many people from living their life to the full are also things the practitioners see and help with in daily practice. In our practice and in thorough research Acupuncture patients report that they: - have less pain - have more energy - are more focussed - miss fewer days at work - feel better in themselves It is also generally held to be a safe treatment and suitable for all ages, including children. |
There is clinical evidence to show that acupuncture is effective in treating: - headache - fibromyalgia - tennis elbow - facial pain - neck pain - lower back pain - osteoarthritis - menstrual problem - menopausal problems - male and female infertility - morning sickness - stroke - substance abuse - depression - respiratory problems |
