Acupuncture treatment is available at our Kings Heath, Birmingham Therapy Centre.
Acupuncture Therapy-what is it?
Acupuncture is an ancient system of healing, Acupuncture is part of the
traditional medicine of China, which includes herbal medicine,
exercise, massage
and diet. Acupuncture Therapy has been practised for over 3,000 years and
has developed a complex and detailed understanding of the workings
of the body.
Chinese medicine regards disease as a result of an imbalance
in the flow of the body's vital energy. The treatment aims
to restore
the flow of this energy, so correcting the problem which underlies
the specific symptoms.
A wide variety of
conditions can be helped, from acute physical injury to chronic
pain; emotional problems to addictions; chronic
diseases to non specific feelings of 'unwellness'.

How
is a Acupuncture Therapy session conducted?
To
reach a diagnosis, the acupuncturist questions the person about
their symptoms and current situation, and will also ask about
family history, lifestyle and past medical history. They will
feel the pulse and conduct a physical examination if appropriate.
Having reached a diagnosis, the treatment can begin.
The practitioner will insert very fine needles at specific
points to restore the flow of Qi (pronounced 'chee') energy.
The practitioner
may also advise the person on lifestyle, diet or exercise to
assist the healing process.

How
many Acupuncture sessions will be needed?
Treatments are generally weekly at first, gradually reducing as
the condition improves. The number of treatments required depends
on the nature of the illness, its duration, and how the person
responds to acupuncture. The practitioner can advise on this at
the first consultation.
