Although Osteopaths are generally thought of as ‘back specialists’, we treat a wide range of conditions. Osteopathic treatment does not target symptoms only but treats the parts of the body that have caused the symptoms.
Acupuncturists take a holistic approach, believing that the body's energy, or "Qi," must flow freely for optimal health. By inserting thin needles into specific points on the body, they can unblock energy pathways and restore balance. Techniques may vary, including manual needle manipulation, electrical stimulation, aromatherapy, or even heat therapy.
Acupuncture is suitable for a wide range of people and can be a part of the treatment plan for many conditions. It primarily works on the energetic level, affecting the body's internal systems, using patient-centered and holistic approaches.
Acupuncturists use gentle techniques, tailored to your age, health condition, and specific needs. Treatment may include various needle manipulations to stimulate energy flow, alleviate pain, and promote healing.
You might also receive advice on lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, or exercises to enhance your overall well-being.
In many countries, acupuncturists are regulated by professional bodies that ensure high standards of practice, ethics, and safety.
