Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a very safe and
effective treatment and is commonly used to treat conditions as
varied as back pain, joint pain, anxiety, depression, stress,
menopause, menstrual problems, IBS, migraines, headache, arthritis,
urinary complaints, hay fever and fatigue.
People having acupuncture often report feeling better ‘in
themselves’, for example in terms of increased energy and improved
sleep. Acupuncture aims to balance all aspects of a person not just
the physical, but the mental and emotional aspects too.
A treatment consists of very fine needles used at specific points on
the body to help regulate the flow of energy, or ‘qi’. The needles
are tiny and are nothing like those used for injections. The
treatment is a deeply relaxing experience.
At Community Acupuncture in the Positive Living Centre two people
are treated in the same room at the same time. This means that
treatment costs can be a lot lower than the standard price, making
acupuncture more affordable. Privacy is ensured with the use of
screens and people speak in low voices, with soft music in the
background. The atmosphere is quiet, calm and healing. A first
consultation and treatment is conducted in private and therefore
slightly higher in cost.
Many of the clients who come for treatment are women who are
trying to become pregnant. Acupuncture can be of enormous benefit
in this
case, either on its own or alongside IVF. Once pregnant, acupuncture
is an excellent treatment for morning sickness and can even turn
breech babies and promote labour.
