Acupuncture is a safe and gentle treatment which can be used to help people of all ages with a wide range of illnesses. Although there is a focus on specific problems the overall wellbeing of the patient is always considered, and people often comment that they feel relaxed or refreshed after treatment.
Herbal medicine is extensively used in China but less well known here. It can be particularly useful to help with skin problems and fertility issues. If you have any questions about whether treatment would be suitable for you then please ring us on 01202 798616 and ask to speak to Gerard or email gerard@poole-acupuncture.co.uk.

Acupuncture
Report
Acupuncture has been practised in China for thousands of years. By the sixth century it had spread to Japan and Korea, but it took another thousand years before it became known in the West, when Jesuit missionaries brought back reports to France. It is now used extensively across much of Europe as well as the United States and Australia, and many GPs, midwives and physiotherapists have trained to use acupuncture needles in their treatments.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Report
Chinese herbal medicine also has a tradition stretching back over 2000 years, although it is less well known in the UK than acupuncture. In many Chinese hospitals it is used alongside Western medicine as an integral part of healthcare treatment. Modern processing techniques mean that herbs no longer need to be prepared at home.
Pain & Injury
Report
Acupuncture is used for the treatment of people with a wide range of painful injuries and illnesses. The notes below provide some insight into just a few of these, but are by no means meant to be an exclusive list. If you have any questions or a particular problem that you would like to discuss then please just give us a ring on 01202 798616.
Women's Health & Fertility
Report
The use of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine to assist fertility and during pregnancy has become increasingly well known in the UK over the past decade, indeed it is not particularly unusual for midwives to use acupuncture.
The same may be said of some other European countries e.g. in Sweden around three quarters of midwives receive some training in acupuncture, while in Germany acupuncture is used in 80-90% of maternity hospitals, and it is relatively common for German doctors to use acupuncture and herbs as part of their practice.Treatment is very much tailored to fit each person.
