How it works
With Acupuncture we treat the person, not just a condition or symptom. Chinese medicine understands how different physical and emotional symptoms are connected and aims to bring all aspects of a person back into harmony.
It is therefore used to treat a wide range of problems. Commonly it is known for its ability to treat pain and musculoskleletal injury, and in recent years it has become popular as a way of increasing fertility and improving womens health in general. From problems with the cycle, to pregancy and induction and onto menopause. Other common areas people seek treatment for include digestive problems, sleep and emotional issues, problems around immunity or just feeling run down, tired and stressed out.

However, Chinese medicine (acupuncture) always aims to address the root of the problem, and not just the symptom which is often a manifestation a of deeper imbalance. This way a longer lasting resolution can be achieved.
During a course of acupuncture treatment a persons general health is more likely to improve as well as the presenting problem. For example, Improved sleep, better energy levels, and a happier state of mind, are all indicators that balance to all aspects of a person are being restored.

Generally, improvements are seen within the first few treatments, and often after the first session. Naturally, more chronic long term conditions take longer to completely resolve than shorter more acute problems of a few weeks or months. Acupuncture can also be used preventatively to strengthen weak parts of the constitution, or just when one is feeling run down and before symptoms manifest.

Acupuncture not only restores health, it helps people understand how to live in harmony with their body and mind and make good choices. Good health is not just about the absense of disease it is about achieving your highest potential in life.
