Medical acupuncture’s approach are diagnostic methods from both Eastern medicine (e.g., tongue and pulse diagnosis) and Western medicine (e.g., physical examination, lab tests).

The selection of points in medical acupuncture may be based on traditional theory (meridians and flow energy) and understanding of anatomy and physiology in a combination of both.

The goals of medical acupuncture are to relieve symptoms, improve function, and promote the body's natural healing response. This is achieved by stimulating specific points to affect various physiological systems.

Medical acupuncture is used for a variety of health issues. These may include pain management (for conditions like migraines, lower back pain, and osteoarthritis), mental health conditions (like anxiety and depression), digestive issues, and more.

Medical acupuncture is provided by licensed medical professional (MBBS,MD) who has undergone additional training in acupuncture. This helps ensure a high level of safety.

While research into acupuncture is ongoing, there's evidence that it can be effective for certain conditions, particularly for pain relief. Medical acupuncture is increasingly recognized and used within mainstream healthcare, often as a complementary treatment alongside conventional therapy.

It's important for our patients to discuss any benefits and potential side effect of therapy.
