Acupuncture Practice (St Albans and Bishops Stortford)

Acupuncture is a system of healing which has been practised successfully for thousands of years. Symptoms or conditions treated with acupuncture might include: anxiety states, arthritis, asthma, back pain, circulatory problems, depression, facial paralysis, fibrositis, high blood pressure, intermediate aches and pains, menstural problems, migrains, rheumatism, sciatica, skin conditions and ulcers.

Acupuncture is a safe treatment for all. Its has been proved to be effective in pregnancy management and for the relief of pain in childbirth. It is also helpful for people trying to overcome addictions such as those related to smoking, alcohol, food or drugs.

Some people may have acupuncture as a preventative measure to strengthen their constitutions, or because they feel unwell in themselves without being 'ill'. The principal aim of acupuncture, in treating the whole person, is to recover the equilibrium between the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of the individual.

Joop Brouwer graduated from the College of Traditional Acupuncture in 1997, is a member of the British Acupuncture Council and practices acupuncture in St Albans and Bishops Stortford.
