Why choose Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. It's often used for pain relief and has gained popularity in both traditional and modern medicine. Here are some key points about acupuncture for pain:
- Mechanism of Action: According to traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture helps balance the flow of energy or life force (qi) through pathways (meridians) in the body. From a modern perspective, acupuncture is believed to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue, which can increase blood flow and trigger the release of the body's natural painkillers like endorphins.
- Conditions Treated: Acupuncture is commonly used to alleviate various types of pain, including back pain, neck pain, osteoarthritis/knee pain, headaches, and migraines. It may also be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for conditions like fibromyalgia or menstrual cramps.
- Evidence and Effectiveness Our Acupuncturist has studied and treated complex pain with a high rate of efficacy. Majoring in Acupuncture for fibromyalgia, our approach is often combined with western medical referral when needed.
- Treatment Approach: Acupuncture sessions typically last 40 - 90 minutes, and the number of sessions needed varies depending on the condition and individual response. Some people experience immediate relief, we recommend 3 treatments in initial stages of treatment.
- Integration with Conventional Medicine: Acupuncture is often used alongside conventional medical treatments. It's essential to inform your healthcare provider about any therapies you're using to ensure coordinated care.
- Personalised Treatment: Our comprehensive approach sets us apart. Book your comprehensive treatment today.
