Traditional Five Element Acupuncture is based on an ancient Chinese system of medicine, it helps address physical, mental and emotional aspects manifesting as signs of distress in the body. It is also used in conjunction with other treatment methods by controlling and influencing pain pathways in both acute and chronic pain. Traditional Five Element Acupuncture is based on an ancient Chinese system of medicine. This ancient system enables the body/mind/spirit to heal itself. In Chinese medicine any illness or symptom is associated with an imbalance of the person’s vital life energy, or Qi. When the body is not functioning properly (in the form of any symptom or pain) it is a sign that there is an imbalance of Qi, which must be rebalanced to restore health. This principle of Traditional Acupuncture is important because it means the underlying cause of the disease is being dealt with rather than just treating the symptom
Five Element Acupuncture takes a holistic approach to treating an individual’s mind, body and spirit, a detailed history is taken on consultation. All aspects of the patients needs are tailored into the way the therapist approaches treatment, thus offering unique care to each patient. Acupuncture can be used to treat many conditions; infertility, fatigue, musculo-skeletal conditions, menstrual and premenstrual problems, menopausal symptoms, digestive disorders, migraines/headaches, anxiety/stress, insomnia, and many more.
