What is Medical Acupuncture? Medical Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points of the body. It is a system of healing that has been practised in China and other Far Eastern countries for thousands of years. Many Western medical practitioners have become interested in offering patients a less invasive method of treatment that focuses on improving the overall well being of the patient by stimulating the body’s own healing response. Acupuncture does this by evoking a response through the central nervous system and has been found to help with a variety of conditions that may affect an individual’s quality of life. It is a Holistic approach, promoting general health as well as providing preventative means for patients. It is important to take into account the individual’s lifestyle, nutrition, as well as physical and emotional aspects enabling the provision of guidance or advice where necessary.
