Some people choose acupuncture for help with a specific symptom or condition, others have treatment to help maintain good health as a preventive measure, or to improve their general sense of wellbeing.
Because traditional acupuncture aims to treat the whole person rather than specific symptoms in isolation, it can be effective for a range of conditions. This approach also means that each patient's treatment plan will be different. Many people return to acupuncture again and again because they find it so beneficial and relaxing.
In 2009 the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence recommended that acupuncture should be made available on the NHS, as a cost- effective short-term treatment for the management of early, persistent non-specific lower back pain.
You can get more information on current scientific research into the effectiveness of acupuncture by visiting www.acupuncture.org.uk or by speaking to Maria Margarita.
Maria Margarita is available to discuss treatment options for a particular condition over the phone, and to share with you her experience of previous clients with similar symptoms.
