The benefits of acupuncture

Research suggests that acupuncture has a range of benefits. Here are some of the benefits that acupuncture therapy may provide:

• Pain relief for tension headaches and migraines.
• Relief for various types of acute pains such as low back pain, neck pain, osteoarthritis and knee pain.
• Relief for high and low blood pressure, painful periods, dental pain and morning sickness.
• It’s worthwhile checking the World Health Organisation’s list of problems where acupuncture has been proven effective.
• Acupuncture for fertility can help improve fertility.
• Acupuncture for weight loss can help with losing weight.

Patients can generally expect an improvement in an acute problem after eight to twelve sessions. A person with chronic pain may need weekly visits to an acupuncture clinic over several months.
