Acupuncture is the ancient Chinese Medicine system of stimulating the body’s own healing mechanisms via acupuncture points on the body. Each acupuncture point (of which there are hundreds) has a specific function.
With gentle manipulation, the body can be brought back into balance. It can be used as a preventative measure to maintain health or to help with specific symptoms. Each treatment is created specifically for the individual as no two persons are alike.
As acupuncture treats the person not the ailment, where ill health is viewed as a disharmony or imbalance within the body, it can be used to aid most conditions including angina, anxiety, addiction, depression, emotional problems, insomnia, digestive disorders, male & female fertility, fibromyalgia, IBS, skin complaints, hay fever, menstrual problems, menopause, headaches, migraines, joint and muscular pain, ME, asthma, constipation, hypertension, lack of energy, catarrh, glue ear, sciatica, stress, palpitations, allergies, dizziness, tinnitus, head noise and any unexplained aches, pains, twinges and many other conditions.
Acupuncture can also support pregnancy, childbirth, induction of labour and the turning of breach position, in addition to supporting mothers post birth.
To diagnose any imbalance Carri will ask where the problem occurs, the type of pain presenting, what makes it better, what makes it worse, does it feel hot or cold to touch, when did it start ? Carri will take pulses on both arms and look at the tongue.
Auricular Acupuncture
The ear is seen to resemble a foetus and thus represents a mini map of the body. Certain points on the ear relate to the body’s internal organs and functions. Auricular Acupuncture can treat a whole range of symptoms and is an effective intervention treatment for addictions, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and general anxiety.
