Traditional Chinese Acupuncture

What we now know as traditional chinese acupuncture is part of one of the world's oldest systems of medicine. It works by identifying patterns of symptoms in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease.

It is a fairly direct system of practice, not unlike Western medicine in that, whilst past medical history is of course taken into account, it concentrates on the current symptoms being experienced by the patient, and as an independent system of medicine it has proved very effective for thousands of years.
