Can acupuncture be effective when other treatments have failed?

Absolutely! Each medical system has its own areas of greatest effectiveness. Acupuncture excels in those areas in which conventional Western medicine comes up short. For example the treatment of chronic diseases, pain control, and the treatment of stress-related disorders are three areas in which acupuncture is most effective.

How many treatments will be needed?

This depends on the duration, severity and nature of the complaint. You may need only a single treatment of acupuncture for an acute condition. A series of 5-10 treatments may resolve many chronic problems. Some degenerative conditions may require multiple treatments, dietary modifications, specific exercise regimes, relaxation techniques, self-massage, perhaps in combination with Chinese herbal medicines, all of which may help to increase the effectiveness of acupuncture.

What conditions does acupuncture help with?

According to the clinical studies conducted by the World Health Organisation, conditions successfully treated include: Neurological Disorders, Headache, Migraines, Insomnia, Backache or Pain, Arthritis, Disc Problems, Gastrointestinal Disorders, Food Allergies, Nausea, Colitis, Ulcers, and Sinusitis. Other Benefits include: Weight Control, Stop Smoking, Alcohol Addiction, Drug Addiction and other drug withdrawal symptoms.
