What Is Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the ancient art of healing and medicine. Used for over 2000 years in many areas of the world, acupuncture is swiftly gaining popularity here in the UK as its benefits are recognised both by patients and western medical science. At Candy Woods Acupuncture, we practice Five Elements Acupuncture. This is a treatment that focuses on the holistic nature of healing, addressing the consequence of your condition ie pain or illness and helping you find relief.
Who is Candy Woods
I wanted to study acupuncture after seeing the great results that auricular acupuncture was having in the substance misuse field. I was working at a company called Drugaid in Cearphilly. My role was to facilitate the auricular acupuncture groups. I was trained by SMART who specialise in addiction therapy. The training captured my imagination. My amazement was furthered when I started running the groups.
Costs of Treatment
Please allow approximately 1 hour – 11/2 hours for your initial consultation and treatment. In this first meeting, we will go over your medical history and talk about your lifestyle, health and your health concerns. As I begin to understand your ailment and body’s balance, I will perform some small physical examinations such as examining your tongue and taking your pulse. I may also feel the acupuncture points along your abdomen.
Conditions Treated
Acupuncture will treat a host of ailments dependent on the individual’s complaints. Five Elements Acupuncture takes a holistic approach to health and will address the patient’s unique physiological disposition. Although two people may have the same western medicine diagnosis, their acupuncture treatment may differ, this is because we consider not only the cause and the symptoms of an illness but also other lifestyle and health conditions.
