Health Problems Treated with Acupuncture
Many people come to acupuncture with a defined problem, whilst others seek help because they feel generally unwell or out of balance.
Acupuncture can be helpful in a wide range of illnesses, conditions or symptoms. Some of the most commonly treated include:
- Disorders of the digestive system such as irritable bowel syndrome, ulcers, nausea and constipation.
- Sleep disorders, depression, anxiety and stress related issues.
- Musculo-skeletal problems such as back pain, neck and shoulder problems, sciatica, arthritis and rheumatism.
- Breathing difficulties such as asthma or hay fever.
- Headaches and migraines.
- Menstrual and fertility problems.
Acupuncture is a safe and natural treatment for all. It works by activating the body’s own healing functions. It has proven to be safe and effective in pregnancy management, for alleviating morning sickness, correction of malposition of foetus, induction of labour and for the relief of pain during childbirth.
The benefits of acupuncture often go beyond treating or alleviating a specific condition. As acupuncture is a holistic treatment, people often find themselves with increased energy levels, a healthier appetite, a better quality of sleep and a greater overall sense of well-being.
