What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is over 3000 years old. It treats the whole person by influencing blood circulation and body energy and nerve pathways. Treatment may utilise acupuncture needles, herbal moxa warming of needles, lymph tissue cupping and acupressure. In the case of young children, special Infant Chinese Massage and gentle Laser treatment are the preferred options.
Details on Acupuncture Treatments
Acupuncture treatments are approximately ½ to ¾ hour and visits tend to be weekly or, for very acute problems, twice weekly. The number of Acupuncture visits required depends on a person’s energetic state and how long term the condition is.
It is always easier to treat more recent conditions than to start treatment months later after a person has ‘ done the round’ of various doctors and specialists etc. The average number of visits is 4-6 sessions. Treatment can be coordinated with other modalities and is especially helpful to relax the muscles and enhance the effectiveness of Osteopathic or Chiropractic treatments.
