Some of our patients in Devon seek acupuncture as a preventative measure to strengthen their constitution or because they feel unwell in themselves without being “ill” in the Western sense.
It can be used alongside conventional medicine in the treatment of both acute and chronic disease. In some cases treatment allows a reduction of medication, although this is always done with agreement and advice from patient’s GP/consultant.
 
Treatment is helpful for those trying to overcome addictions such as those related to smoking, alcohol, food or drugs.
