Acupuncture
Many common health conditions are very effectively treated with acupuncture, including back pain, general stress and fertility problems
Acupuncture is a therapeutic practice that originated in China many thousands of years ago. It is based on the premise that the body functions properly when the energy and blood flows freely throughout the body. Fine, disposable, sterile needles are inserted along energy pathways(meridians) in the body to promote good health and reduce pain. It is a natural form of therapy that can promote good health and reduce pain.
In our clinic, we use acupuncture to treat:
- Pain and stiffness in the back, neck, shoulder, arm, knee and general aches
- Sports injuries, muscle and ligament strains and joint sprains
- Headaches
- Women’s health issues, incontinence and support of women during and after pregnancy, menstrual and menopausal problems
