Recognizing the Benefits of Combining Conventional and Complementary Therapies

Integrative, Complementary and Alternative Medicine are all methods that supplement traditional medicine. They are not considered a replacement - they work alongside traditional treatment. 

Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years - balancing the body and helping it heal. From a scientific perspective, acupuncture is believed to work by stimulating the nervous system, improving blood flow and triggering the release of certain chemicals like serotonin and endorphins, which can help reduce pain and stress while promoting healing.

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting very thin needles into specific points on the body (the needle points do not cause pain). It balances the body’s energy (qi) which promotes the body's ability to heal itself and maintain overall health.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes acupuncture as a suitable treatment for many disorders including musculoskeletal pain, arthritis, headaches, migraines, nausea, anxiety, insomnia, digestive issues, hormone imbalances, fertility, as well as skin issues.
