Acupuncture
Acupuncture has existed as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years but it’s only in the past 30 years or so that it had become included into general medicine.
Practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine believe that energy called ‘qi’ flows around your body in channels (meridians). Equal and opposite properties called yin and yang are thought to become unbalanced, causing illness. The needles used in acupuncture aim to restore this balance.
The way acupuncture works is being increasingly understood in general medicine. It’s based on the idea that acupuncture needles stimulate nerve endings and alter the way your brain functions, particularly in relation to how your body responds to pain. Acupuncture is used to treat a range of conditions including lower back pain, migraine and knee pain. Acupuncture can also be performed without needles, using laser acupuncture equipment for children.
