What can acupuncture treat?


Although acupuncture is often described as a means of pain relief, it is in fact used to treat people with a wide range of illnesses. Its focus is on understanding and treating the root causes of disease as well as alleviating the specific symptoms a patient may present with. This can lead to a more permanent resolution of your problem.

Since acupuncture is aimed at treating the whole person, patients often report improvements in general well-being such as digestion, sleep patterns, stress and energy levels as a result of treatment.

Since the 1970s, the World Health Organisation has recognised the ability of acupuncture to treat many common conditions.
