| What can Acupuncture treat?
Almost any illness can be treated including muscular skeletal, allergy,
asthma, eczema, digestive, emotional, gynaecological, neurological and
many other imbalances.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is over 3000 years old. It treats the whole person by influencing
blood circulation and body energy and nerve pathways. Treatment may utilise
acupuncture needles, herbal moxa warming of needles, lymph tissue cupping
and acupressure. In the case of young children, special Infant Chinese
Massage and gentle Laser treatment are the preferred options.
Details on Acupuncture Treatments
Acupuncture treatments are approximately 1/2 to 3/4 hour and visits tend
to be weekly or, for very acute problems twice weekly. The number of Acupuncture
visits required depends on a person’s energetic state and how long
term the condition is.
It is always easier to treat more recent conditions than to start treatment
months later after a person has ‘ done the round’ of various
doctors and specialists etc. The average number of visits is 4-6 sessions.
Treatment can be coordinated with other modalities and is especially helpful
to relax the muscles and enhance the effectiveness of Osteopathic or Chiropractic
treatments.
As a member of NZ Register of Acupuncturists Peter is an ACC Treatment
Provider and is recognised by some Health Funds.
