What Acupuncture treats?
Chinese medicine has developed as a complete healthcare system and, reflecting that, acupuncture can be used to treat a wide range of different conditions.
The following categories of disorder are commonly treated:
- Musculo-skeletal
- Immune
- Neurological
- Gastrointestinal
- Circulatory
- Eye, ear, nose and throat
- Gynaecological
- Genitor-urinary
- Respiratory
- Emotional
Acupuncture can also be used for preventative purposes. It is said that in China, patients would pay their physician only when they were well. It is a common response to treatment for patients to feel ‘more themselves’. If you are feeling ‘not right’ but do not have specific symptoms that you would regard as an illness then acupuncture may be able to help. Diagnosis and treatment is heavily based upon subtle changes in your pulse and so you do not need to present obvious symptoms for a treatment to be formulated.
