About the Business

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 and ask to speak to Gerard or email gerard@poole-acupuncture.co.uk.

Acupuncture

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.

Acupuncture is one of the safest medical treatments, both conventional and complementary, on offer in the UK. The needles are used only once and then immediately disposed of. They are extremely thin so there is little or no sensation as they pass through the skin.
