ACUPUNCTURE AT CURA

WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?

Hay Fever? Acupuncture may help!

Acupuncture is an ancient system of medicine which has been developed over thousands of years, predominately in China but more recently in the West.

It is one of the most popular and established forms of complementary medicine in the UK with more than 3,000 practitioners and health care professionals who will treat 2 million patients each year.

Although it is often viewed primarily as a treatment for pain it has in fact been used for centuries to treat a very wide range of conditions. With increasing investment in research its efficacy is now well established. It is now commonly used to treat conditions such as migraine, irritable bowel syndrome, depression, back pain and a wide range of gynaecological conditions. For more details see the British Acupuncture Council Website or the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists.

In diagnosis and treatment we take a holistic and integrated approach, allowing a personal treatment to be developed to suit the individual and treat body, mind and spirit in harmony.
