acu-lifestyle’s aim is to provide patients with an alternative or adjunct treatment to conventional medicine through practicing acupuncture and educating on the benefits of a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
Medical Acupuncture
Western Medical Acupuncture is the use of acupuncture following a medical diagnosis . It involves inserting very fine needles under the skin and into muscles, stimulating sensory nerves. This results in the body producing natural substances such as pain-relieving endorphins.
Conditions acupuncture has shown to benefit are vast but include: chronic pain, headaches, insomnia, migraines, regulating periods, fertility, hot flushes related to cancer treatment or the menopause, muscle and joint problems.
Lifestyle Medicine
Lifestyle Medicine is the use of evidence based lifestyle interventions to prevent, treat and often reverse chronic disease.
Many diseases seen today such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease are a direct result of unhealthy lifestyles.
acu-lifestyle works alongside patients to create nutrition and exercise ‘prescriptions’ to help prevent recurrence of their disease or prevent diseases from developing.
