MY BACKGROUND
LITERATURE & LINKS
Acupuncture is seen as an 'holistic' medicine. This means that it treats the person in their entirety, body, mind and spirit. Because of this holistic approach, acupuncture can be used to help almost any condition or situation. One of the advantages of acupuncture is that there are no side effects from treatment, which gives the patient maximum benefits with no 'down side'.
