Treatments with acupuncture - serving Galway and Barna
Acupuncture is used as a successful treatment for many illnesses and conditions. This is achieved without the use of drugs because acupuncture stimulates the body's natural defence system and restores the natural balance. In 2002 a World Health Organization report, titled ‘Acupuncture: Review and analysis of reports on controlled clinical trials’, highlighted that acupuncture can be used successfully for many treatments. Below is a partial list taken from the report.
