Acupuncture

Dental Acupuncture in Swansea

Acupuncture has a long historical background – it has been known in China for at least 3-4000 years. 
Traditional acupuncture has steadily grown in popularity in the UK since the 1970s.
Acupuncture works, clinical evidence and controlled trials demonstrate this. The results even today can be surprising.

What is Acupuncture

It is a system of complementary medicine in which fine needles are inserted in the skin at specific points along what are considered to be lines of energy (meridians). It is used in the treatment of various physical and mental conditions.

Treatment is designed to affect your whole being as well as your symptoms so, as the condition being treated improves, you may notice other health problems resolve and have an increased 
feeling of wellbeing.

Does acupuncture hurt?

Acupuncture needles are so fine that most people don’t feel them being inserted. It is normal to feel a mild tingle or dull ache as the needles are adjusted to direct Qi. While the needles are in place most people feel deeply relaxed which can continue after they are removed.

Are there any side effects?

Occasionally a small bruise can appear at a needle site. Sometimes people can feel dizzy or tired after a treatment, but this passes quickly.
