Acupuncture
Acupuncture offers a natural way of dealing effectively with a wide range of health problems, and is free from harmful side-effects. It involves the incision of very fine sterilised needles into acupoints along meridians which form a network of pathways connecting the skin and the internal organs. The aim of acupuncture is to regulate the meridians of the body to unblock the stagnation of Qi (energy) and thus restoring balance and health. When the needles are inserted they can cause slight discomfort, but this soon gives way to a calm painless sensation. Acupuncture is a popular treatment and has been proven to be effective for cerebral palsy, epilepsy, bedwetting, and many other conditions. It is a painless and relaxing treatment which has been widely accepted by Western Medicine. There are alternative techniques available for children, or those who have a fear of needles.
These include:
- Acupressure - a technique of applying pressure with the fingers to various points, rather than needles.
- Electro-Acupuncture - applied with or without needles.
