ACUPUNCTURE
is used to treat people with a wide range of illnesses, both physical and
emotional. The focus is on improving the overall health of the
person. This includes Body, Mind and Spirit in other words the
WHOLE person rather than isolated symptoms or parts of the body.
Acupuncture can also assist with facial
rejuvenation with electro-acupuncture to improve tone texture and general
look of the face includes body detox pointsAcupuncture is extremely
effective at relieving symptoms such as:
CHRONIC PAIN,
MUSCLE SPASMS, INFLAMMATION, FROZEN SHOULDER, SCIATICA, MIGRAINE, IBS,
CHRONES DISEASE, SKIN PROBLEMS, ASTHMA, BRONCHITIS, ARTHRITIS,
BACK/NECK/JOINT PAIN, INFERTILITY/GYNAECOLOGICAL, PMS, ANXIETY, PANIC
ATTACKS, FEAR, GRIEF AND ANGER TO NAME JUST A FEW.
When you attend the
clinic for acupuncture you will be asked to fill in a very comprehensive
medical form, stating past and present illnesses, you will be asked
questions about your lifestyle, your family history and what may to you
seem unimportant and unrelated questions but these questions are designed
to give us an overall picture of you and they do help us with our
treatment of you.
You will then be given a
consultation by Mrs Baker- Purnell or her appointed practitioner and after getting
undressed your diagnosis continues with pulse taking and tongue diagnosis.
The pulses are taken from the wrist area, (you in fact have twelve
pulses relating to twelve major meridians and organs), you will then
be asked to show your tongue, which gives more information about you and
the state of your health.
Your treatment then
commences, remember even if you only come to us with a painful big
toe you will still be asked to undress so that you may be treated
holistically and needles will be inserted at various sites around the
body, even a painful big toe is usually the sign of an imbalance of
energies in the body.
You will require in most
cases several weekly treatments or even twice weekly in certain cases,
because
Acupuncture
is cumulative and one must allow for that accumulation to take place to
gain the most effective and long lasting treatment. We then start to
spread out the treatments as soon as an improvement is seen. Please
remember though that we do not do "courses" of treatment, each case is
individual and in most cases you can expect an average of about eight to
ten weeks of treatments before they are spread out.
