Acupuncture

Traditional Chinese acupuncture is a term used to describe a healthcare system derived from ancient principles – Yin Yang – and the Five Elements. The system is based on medical philosophy whereby different models have been used to study the nature of knowledge and existence with regard to health and wellbeing. Therefore, acupuncture is based on a different model of health, physiology, and illness. However, the scientific mechanisms for acupuncture have advanced considerably. Based on these Chinese medical concepts an acupuncturist is trained in the UK to use unique diagnostic and treatment methods when providing acupuncture as well as other disciplines relevant to best practice in the contemporary healthcare setting. Please note, an acupuncturist does not provide a medical diagnosis.
