TCM stands for traditional Chinese medicine. This variety of acupuncture is what is practiced in modern day China. Over 3,000 years it has evolved into a complete complex system of holistic diagnosis & treatment.
Acupuncture is the art of insertion of very fine disposable sterile steel needles into very precise points in order to access & regulate the energy & functions of the internal organs & to stimulate the circulation of the body’s energy (qi) & blood. It is when the qi & blood stagnates that pain occurs in the body; acupuncture often combined with massage aims to release this stagnation and pain.
Recent scientific research has proven the efficiency of acupuncture in the relief of pain conditions; in the last couple of years the government body that is responsible for advising GP’s on the most effective interventions has advised that GP’s refer patients with lower back pain for acupuncture on the NHS.
Recent research has found conclusively that the chances of becoming pregnant through IVF rises from 20% to 50% if the women receives a course of TCM acupuncture – this is because the acupuncture strengthens & balances all of the organ’s & system of the body to maximise fertility potential, the healthier the woman the more fertile she is.
Many people don't realise that acupuncture is very effective at treating many conditions, including internal conditions such as digestive disorders, urinary & respiratory conditions such as asthma.
