Headingley & Leeds Acupuncture What Is Acupuncture ?

DIAGNOSIS. An holistic approach.

In determining the pattern of disharmony, the acupuncturist needs a detailed understanding of the patient's lifestyle, diet, work, medical history, emotional states, etc. The diagnosis includes questioning, observation and examination.  The physician is not looking for symptoms in isolation, rather, how they combine to form a whole picture.

ACUPUNCTURE is a system of medicine where fine needles are inserted under the skin in order to treat a problem or disease. This is a relatively painless and gentle form of medicine and is carried out by sterile procedure.

NO DRUGS ARE USED. There are no side effects and nothing is injected into the skin. The needles used are very fine, the thickness of a few strands of hair.
