Need an Alternative? Try Acupuncture

Chinese Herbal Medicine has been tried and tested for centuries. Many people have made their own minds up about alternative therapies, without actually trying it and now Torrevieja has its very own clinic which has experts practicing in not only acupuncture, but also in other types of alternative medicine to help a wide variety of conditions, ailments and problems.

Acupuncture is a technique of inserting and manipulating fine needles into specific points on the body with the aim of relieving pain and for therapeutic purposes.

According to traditional Chinese acupuncture theory, these acupuncture points lie along meridians along which ‘qi’, the vital energy, flows.

Acupuncture controls pain and stimulates the production of endorphins, the body’s natural pain killers, in turn blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain.

It can be used effectively for conditions such as allergies, general pain, rheumatoid arthritis, neuralgia, migraines and asthma, as well as high blood pressure, psoriasis and weight problems.
