About acupuncture

Acupuncture is widely considered to be beneficial for a range of illnesses and symptoms from clearly defined complaints such as headaches, vomiting, neck ache, and back, arthritic and dental pain, through to more general feelings of ill health such as nausea or low energy. Conditions commonly treated fall into the following categories of disorder: eye, ear, nose and throat; circulatory; gastrointestinal; gynaecological; genito-urinary; immune; musculoskeletal; neurological; respiratory; emotional and psychological and also addiction. Many women choose to have acupuncture throughout pregnancy and childbirth. In addition, Acupuncture is increasingly used by couples dealing with problems of fertility or to support IVF treatment.
