Traditional Acupuncture is an ancient system
of healing used for thousands of years in
eastern countries to restore and maintain
health. It is a holistic form of medicine the aim
of which is to balance ones vital energies
known as Qi Energy.

By inserting fine needles into specific points
along the energy channels, or by the smouldering of a herb called Moxa, the individual's own healing responses are
stimulated and the benefits should be felt on
the physical, emotional and spirit levels.

Over recent years Traditional Acupuncture
has evolved to become one of the main
complementary systems of healing in the
west and as research and practice show its
effectiveness, Acupuncture is becoming
assimilated into more conventional health
care.

As Traditional Acupuncture is a whole system
of medicine it can potentially be used to treat
a wide range of health problems. Most people
will come for help with a specific condition or
symptom. Some of the conditions I have
treated over the years include:-

• Abdominal and epigastric complaints
  Anxiety
  Arthritis
  Asthma
  Back pain
  Circulatory problems
  Colitis
  Constipation
  Cystitis
  Depression
  Diarrhoea
  Frozen shoulder
  Hayfever
  Headaches
  Hypertension
  Indeterminate aches and pains
  Infertility
  Insomnia
  ME
  Menopausal problems
  Migraine
  Palpitations
  Panic attacks
  Phobias
  Quitting smoking
  RSI
  Sciatica
  Sinusitis
  Sports injuries
  Stress
  Tennis elbow
  Trigeminal neuralgia
  Vertigo

This list is by no means exhaustive but gives an
idea of the effectiveness and scope of Traditional Acupuncture.

Acupunture is increasingly becoming the therapy of choice for women trying to conceive or for couples dealing with problems of infertility. Acupuncture is very effective in increasing fertility, enabling conception or supporting IVF treatment.

Acupuncture is also extremely helpful for problems in pregnancy, e.g., morning sickness, habitual miscarriage, oedema, malposition of feutus, the need for induction and prolonged labour.
