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.
