How can Acupuncture help?

Patients seek acupuncture for a wide variety of conditions or symptoms including aches and pains, headaches and migraine, mental health, womens health, fertility and during pregnancy to name a few. The evidence for the effectiveness of acupuncture is growing all of the time.

There has been a great deal of research into the efficacy of acupuncture over the last few years, so in order to help sift ‘fact from fiction’ the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) have compiled a selection of fact sheets which provide accurate and unbiased general information for a variety of conditions.
