What is an acupuncturist?

Acupuncture originates from ancient Chinese traditional medicine and has been proven to be effective in managing a range of different issues when used alongside conventional treatments. It involves the insertion of several fine sterile needles at specific points around the body to stimulate the nervous system. Acupuncture can be used for a variety of different reasons including acupuncture for back pain, acupuncture for weight loss, or acupuncture for anxiety or depression. It is another option to consider when conventional treatments have not been effective. Doctify provides access to the best acupuncture in London and so you can be sure to find an acupuncturist near to you at a surgery or top rated hospital to suit your individual needs.
