Acupuncture is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine that has been around for more
than 3000 years.
The Traditional Chinese Medicine looks at the human body/mind/spirit as one,
all being the manifestation of the vital energy (Qi). Disease appears when the energy
flow gets out of balance.
Acupuncture consists of inserting thin needles in specific points on the body,
of which there are more than 300, each of which has a specific effect on particular
body functions, according to TCM.
At an acupuncture consultation the TCM system of looking at the functions
of a human body is adopted, the diagnosis is made according to the various tools
of that system, and treatment is devised accordingly.
As acupuncture looks to improve the functions of the human body as a whole,
it can help with a wide variety of conditions. Some of the conditions that acupuncture
can be used to treat are:
Musculo-skeletal (aftermath of trauma, arthritis, back pain, frozen shoulder,
etc)
Migraines and other headaches
Insomnia
Digestive (e.g. nausea and acid reflux)
Premenstrual tension and pain
Gynaecological (irregular period, infertility)
Hay fever and sinusitis
Facial paralysis (the more recent the onset, the better chances of a good
result)
Acupuncture uses such fine needles that the sensation of insertion is not
at all what you would expect from your previous experience of needles (for example
in injections). You may feel the odd prick, but a lot of the time you will not feel
the needle entering at all, and will only feel a tingling or dull achy sensation,
as the needle touches the point.
All the needles I use are disposable and used only once, so there is no danger
of infection.
