What treatments can you have when you have a long term illness, disease or condition?
Firstly with any serious illness or medical condition we will need a signed letter from your GP or health care professional, giving consent they are happy for you to have treatment. (I will email this for you to have signed) Once we have this signed and they are happy, you can have your treatment as planned.
Acupuncture generally speaking can be used to help with a wide variety of long term conditions and illnesses. There are many research papers to show evidence how acupuncture can help with long term chronic pain and with cancer patients to help reduce pain often associated with treatment.
With massage & lymphatic drainage it can depend on your condition or illness. In some cases we wait a certain period of time after illness before these treatments can be used. However with your health care providers consent these time frames can sometimes be reduced.
It can be frustrating when you want to have a treatment done however your health must always come first.
