Acupuncture for Chronic Conditions

More and more people are suffering from chronic health conditions and living with them can be a challenge for many with it having a significant impact on daily life. While modern medicine offers valuable treatments for managing chronic diseases, acupuncture provides complementary support in managing chronic conditions:

Chronic Fatigue

Chronic fatigue is characterised by persistent, unexplained fatigue that impairs daily functioning. Accompanying symptoms can include cognitive difficulties, sleep disturbances and muscle pain. By using points which offer pain relief, stress reduction, and immune modulation, acupuncture can provide some relief to those suffering with chronic fatigue.

Asthma

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterised by inflammation and constriction of the airways, leading to symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. By targeting key points associated with respiratory function and improving the immune system, acupuncture clears congestion, reduces inflammation and promotes the free flow of energy, allowing individuals to breathe more easily.

Hay fever and allergies

Hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis, is an allergic response to pollen and other airborne allergens. Symptoms  of hay fever and other allergic reactions include sneezing, congestion, runny nose, itchy eyes, and throat irritation. Acupuncture offers a natural alternative to medication opening the sinuses, clearing heat which causes red and itchy eyes and strengthening the immune system.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease, occur when the immune system, which is designed to protect the body from external threats, mistakenly attacks its own tissues. Beyond its effects on supporting the immune system, acupuncture offers relief from the symptoms of autoimmune diseases, such as pain relief, stress reduction, and organ support, allowing better management of the disease.
