Acupuncture is an amazing ancient treatment which can be used very successfully to treat a wide variety of disorders.\u00a0 Painful conditions usually respond very well to acupuncture.\u00a0 Moreover, systemic problems such as anxiety, insomnia, infertility or digestive problems also respond very well.\u00a0 If the body is out of balance, it is always worth trying acupuncture to get things back into balance.<\/p>\n
As I understand it, the insertion of acupuncture needles at strategic points on the body initiates a cascade of responses, which encourage the body to heal itself.\u00a0 In some situations, such as a badly torn meniscus, the physical damage is too great and adjustments in the surrounding tissue will probably not be sufficient to promote total healing.\u00a0 In most conditions however,\u00a0 1-6 appropriate acupuncture treatments will produce a significant improvement.\u00a0 If the source of the problem is removed, no further treatment may be necessary.\u00a0 However, if the source, such as poor posture, repetitive strain or stress are not resolved, the problems will probably return.\u00a0 In this case ongoing acupuncture can be useful to keep symptoms at bay.<\/p>\n
