Acupuncture is one of the main treatments in traditional Chinese medicine. It involves the use of sharp, thin needles that are inserted in your body at very specific points. This process is believed to adjust and alter the body’s energy flow into healthier patterns, and is used to treat a wide variety of illnesses and health conditions.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends acupuncture as an effective treatment for over forty medical problems, including allergies, respiratory conditions, gastrointestinal disorders, gynaecological problems, nervous conditions, and disorders of the eyes, nose and throat, and childhood illnesses, among others.
Acupuncture has been used in treatment for alcoholism and substance abuse. It is an effective and low-cost treatment for headaches and chronic pain, associated with problems like back injuries and arthritis.
Chiropractic
Chiropractic is from Greek words meaning done by hand. Doctors of Chiropractic are concerned with how the body's nerves, muscles and joints function as a whole.
We focus on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the body. We are specialists in using manipulations of joints to improve range of motion, flexibility, and to restore proper function.
Chiropractic is one of the most popular alternative therapies currently available.
