About Acupuncture
|
Acupuncture has been used in Eastern cultures for over 2,000 years to promote, restore and maintain well being. With over two million treatments taking place in the UK each year it is certainly becoming more popular and it can be used in conjunction with Western medicine.
People visit an acupuncturist for a variety of reasons usually linked to a specific condition or symptom, but others choose treatment to enhance their general well being as it can treat the person as a whole to bring equilibrium between the physical, mental and emotional aspects of the individual. Traditional acupuncture seeks to address the root cause of the condition, rather than just treating the symptom that could return at a later date.

Acupuncture sets out to restore balance and bring back harmony to our bodies. By treating the constitutional root of imbalance Sharon can facilitate the body's own path of healing. Whether you are a small seedling or a mature tree acupuncture has something to offer all age groups. It helps you become better rooted so that you can withstand the trauma and stresses that life throws at you.
With official NICE guidelines available to doctors, credibility for acupuncture is growing in the UK. Treatments available presently on the NHS are limited but acupuncture can be beneficial for a variety of conditions.
Acupuncture is regarded as a medical appointment so time may be given off work. However, Sharon's flexible working pattern ensures that treatment can be offered to meet most patients busy schedules.
