How Can Acupuncture Help You?

In New Zealand people successfully use acupuncture to treat muscle and joint pain but its field of treatment is far larger than this.

The World Health Organisation endorses acupuncture treatment for a wide variety of illnesses including:

• Eye, ear, nose, throat disorders
• Circulatory disorders such as high blood pressure, Angina Pectoris, or Arteriosclerosis
• Gastrointestinal disorders
• Gynecological disorders
• Immune disorders
• Addiction
• Emotional and psychological disorders
• Musculoskeletal and neurological disorders
• Respiratory disorders

Acupuncture can also help with:

• Chemotherapy/radiation side effects
• Diabetes
• Dermatological disorders
• Weight control
• Sports performance enhancement
• Male health

Acupuncture is also often used as a preventative medicine. Many people see their acupuncturist a few times a year for a “tune up” or “balancing” treatment. This can prevent disease and promote health, energy, and vitality

At Acupuncture Howick we understand that you may have never tried acupuncture before and might feel… well, a little apprehensive. That’s absolutely OK. We will take time to explain everything we do before we actually do it. You will also be completely in control of what we do… so if for whatever reason you’re not comfortable with a certain part of your treatment – we simple won’t do it! However, we will do everything to make you feel at ease and enjoy your treatment session.
