Acupuncture – a traditional treatment for everyone

Due to advertising guidelines complementary health practitioners are restricted from being specific about conditions they treat, although in a typical day acupuncturists would see patients with a wide range of ailments from asthma through to insomnia and menopausal symptoms. Many older people have degenerative joint conditions and arthritis and find that acupuncture is beneficial. Throughout the years I have treated teenagers struggling with exams resulting in anxiety and stress, physical problems such as headaches and migraines, sports injuries caused by their competitive natures. Young adults benefit if they have any kind of hormone problems such as acne or period problems. For young people treatment times are quicker as the condition has not yet become chronic.
