Did you know that it is generally believed that the first acupuncture needles were made of stone and have been found in ancient tombs in Inner Mongolia dating from 2,500 BCE? Bronze needles became popular around 3,000 years ago during the Chang dynasty. Today needles are made of stainless steel and are produced and packaged under sterile conditions.

Writings on acupuncture also date back thousands of years. Huang Di Nei Jing – The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Chinese Medicine - written more than 2,000 years ago still forms the basis of Chinese Medicine today.

Acupuncture has developed and grown in its use across the world over the centuries. It used by practitioners for well-being and to alleviate symptoms of many conditions such as menopause, headaches and migraines. Specialist forms of acupuncture have been developed for specific circumstances - such as ear acupuncture which is used worldwide for detoxification programmes and the treatment of PTSD. There is a developing body of research trials and data demonstrating the efficacy of acupuncture compared to some western medical interventions.

Acupuncturists worldwide are celebrating World Acupuncture Awareness Day. If you would like to know more about what acupuncture could do for you then please call the Lymington Chiropractic Clinic 01590 679560 or our acupuncturist Amanda Caspari on 07876 343821 or email amandacaspari@gmail.com.

The 18th March is World Sleep Day the theme is Quality Sleep, Sound Mind, Happy World. Acupuncture can be beneficial for sleep disorders - struggling to get to sleep, waking in the night and not getting back to sleep - as well as conditions such as night sweats particularly in menopausal and perimenopausal women. The NHS recognise that regular poor sleep puts you at risk of serious medical conditions, including obesity, coronary heart disease and diabetes – and it shortens your life expectancy.

The lastest figures from the ZOE sympton study estimate that, at current rates, 894 people a day will go on to experience Covid symptoms for longer than 12 weeks - known as long Covid. If you are not back to full strength then acupuncture may help with this - it is often used for general symptoms of tiredness and lack of energy.

Around a third of the population may be affected by chronic pain and many of those also have a diagnosis of depression. Acupuncturists are used to treating many conditions including pain and depression but new guidance for health professions now formally recognises this. The guidance is focused on chronic primary pain, i.e. there is no underlying condition that adequately accounts for the pain or its impact. It is often accompanied by significant emotional distress and functional disability.
Common conditions that this describes are fibromyalgia and myofascial pain (i.e. in the muscles and surrounding connective tissue), as well as pain in specific areas of the body.
The guidance recommends acupuncture alongside; exercise programs, psychological therapies and antidepressant drugs.

We have the positive news that we are progressing out of lockdown and cases of Covid 19 are falling but there are people who have had their health severely affected after catching Covid and who have been unable to recover fully. This is described as Long Covid and the symptoms are similar to those for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) known also as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME). CFS is different for every individual who contracts it. The main symptom that is shared amongst all is the extreme tiredness that is not relieved by resting or sleeping. From a Chinese medical perspective, any type of post-viral fatigue can be interpreted, diagnosed and treated according to the principles of Chinese Medicine and patients often come for acupuncture when other more traditional medical routes cannot help.
