What Conditions Can Acupuncture Help?

New regulations introduced by the Advertising Standards Agency specify that as a practising acupuncturist I am unable to claim/inform you of the efficacy of acupuncture in treating any conditions where this has not been medically proven.

Thus far medical proof exists of the ability of acupuncture to alleviate back pain, dental pain and post operative nausea.

However, an article in the Daily Mail on May 30th reports on claims that millions of patients with ‘unexplained symptoms’ could benefit from acupuncture on the NHS. In the first study of its kind 12 sessions led to health improvements for some of the patients taking part, leading to calls from British researchers for acupuncture to be prescribed by GPs for the 20% of patients for whom traditional medicine has been unsuccessful.

Moxibustion

moxibustion at essex acupuncture

Warming points through Moxibustion is an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It utilises a substance called Moxa, which is made from the aged leaves of a herb called mugwort. Like the sun, moxa produces a comforting dry heat helping to eliminate dampness and cold in the body, alleviating Aches and Pains and supporting Aging Joints.

Pain Relief

If you are one of those people who has exhausted the chemical pills and potions of Western Medicine, then Acupuncture could be for you.
There are many patients who have been sent home to grin and bear it and, after many months of putting up with discomfort, the discovery of natural pain relief in the form of an acupuncture treatment can be the most wonderful experience.

Battlefield

Originally developed to treat pain in US Air Force pilots who were unable to take medication while flying, this ear acupuncture technique has proved so effective in the relief of pain that many soldiers across the american forces have been trained so they can treat each other on the battlefield.
