Miscellaneous
Acupuncture is such a hot topic in the alternative medical world, and for good reason. I get asked about it by patients and people on social media all the time, so I thought that a podcast episode on it would fit in and answer some questions. In this episode, I am going to talk a bit about the history of acupuncture, how it is traditionally used, and then how I use it. Stick around - this is going to be a good one! Acupuncture has been used for some 3000 years to treat a whole host of different conditions & diagnoses. Traditionally acupuncture is all about the flow of qi, or energy, in one’s body. It is when this qi is interrupted that we experience disease & discomfort. This episode focuses on medical acupuncture which takes these same points but adds a neuroanatomical aspect to it. So that means that not only are we using traditional acupuncture points to treat headaches (for example), but we are also searching out trigger points and nerves that are not functioning optimally. On top of all this, in this episode I will be chatting about how I use acupuncture in my clinic and some common conditions that I treat using acupuncture. This is not to be missed!
