Chinese acupuncture has been practiced for many years but as yet is not accepted by most mainstream private health insurance companies. This is because it is considered complimentary therapy without medical training
However more training in pathology is being undertaken on degree courses in acupuncture which may result in an acceptance of chinese acupuncture and 5 element acupuncture within the medical profession.
Acupuncture degree courses consist of in depth training over 3 years and practitioners are highly skilled in point location and needling. Acupuncture is painless and can have amazing effects on patients.
Most Private Health Insurance companies insist that acupuncture practitioners are registered with BMAS

Acupuncture treatment involves treating the whole person and not just the presenting symptoms. Symptoms and signs are used by the skilled acupuncturist to diagnose and treat the cause of the condition.
Acupuncture was in use in China before the pyramids were built. The foundation of its wisdom was built on the basis of simple natural laws that govern our health and natural well being.
The theory of acupuncture treatment lies in the balancing of individuals life force energy or Qi ( chee) which flows through a network of channels called meridians that cover the body.
The skilled acupuncture practitioner can determine through an examination of the patient, where the imbalances lie. By inserting very fine, tiny needles into special points on the meridians the acupuncturist can alter the energy flow, which in turn helps harmonise the body.
