It can be helpful for complaints caused by an imbalance in the body, where restoring that balance may support recovery.
When an imbalance is left untreated, it can become increasingly entrenched over time.
Once a process has become too firmly established in the body
for example, in the case of a calcified shoulder or large gallstones — acupuncture is no longer the right tool.
Sometimes, however, acupuncture can still provide relief when a process has become established. One example is using acupuncture to help relieve nausea during chemotherapy.
Honest Treatment Advice
I am not always the best person to treat you. Sometimes, depending on the nature of your complaint, I believe you may be better helped by, for example, a musculoskeletal specialist, a naturopathic dietitian, a trauma specialist, Pilates excercises or your GP.
If I think you would benefit more from a different approach, I will always discuss this openly with you. Together, we can then look at suitable alternatives.
My starting point is simple: I want to help you as effectively as possible. If acupuncture is not the right treatment for your complaint, I will tell you honestly. I don’t believe in keeping you coming back when I don’t think I can genuinely help you.
