I get asked a lot if acupuncture can be used as a preventative treatment. And the answer is yes of course. It’s great to keep everything on an even keel and ticking along nicely.

It can boost the immune system to keep away those nasty bugs at this time of year. It balances the endocrine system and keeps hormones balanced and happy.

Some clients with arthritis or chronic pain issues like migraines come along for monthly or bi-monthly session to help keep the pain at bay.

It can also be a great form of stress relief and can help with anxiety. It does this by switching the body into rest and digest mode instead of fight or flight, which pumps lots of cortisone into the body. Great if you’re been chased by a lion, but not so great in daily life.

People often comment that after an acupuncture session they feel like they have had a restful nights sleep.

Please get in touch if you have any questions about how acupuncture can help keep your heath in balance.
