Acupuncture
Acupuncture tailored to individual needs can be used as a treatment on its own or combined with bodywork and herbal remedies.
Acupuncture comes from the Far East and involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points of the body at varying depths to help encourage and stimulate the circulation, nervous system, muscular-skeletal system and promotes health and wellbeing.
It is gaining popularity within the UK as an alternative therapy and sometimes used alongside other medical treatments due to its therapeutic benefits. Hospitals in the UK such as Whittington Hospital have pain clinics where acupuncture is practised to help relieve different painful conditions. It is also quite popular as a health and relaxation support alongside fertility treatments.
