Acupuncture treatment is a traditional practice known to humanity for more than two thousand years. Acupuncture is used to treat many different diseases, disorders and pain conditions. It helps to relieve pain and improve your well-being if you suffer from headaches, chronic fatigue syndrome, tendinitis or arthritis. Common ailments that respond well to acupuncture include chronic pain and many physical complains following a motor vehicle, workplace accidents or sports injuries.
Treatment with acupuncture can produce rapid results but more often it requires a number of treatments over a period of time. Usually treatments are once or twice a week, but they can be less frequent. Sometimes the effect is quite dramatic and the patient will only need one or two treatments. Sometimes the effect is subtle and may require treatment for several months. There is, however, usually some change after about five treatments.
