Dr Bull is a practitioner of Western Medical Acupuncture. Acupuncture-like techniques have been used for over 5000 years. The most common reason people try acupuncture is for painful problems, whether it’s acute or chronic pain from a musculoskeletal condition or other bodily system e.g. gastrointestinal or gynaecological. Other conditions treated with acupuncture include migraines, stress, nausea and fertility issues. Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles through the skin and briefly left in position. Sometimes low voltage electricity is applied to assist the process. Western Medical Acupuncture can be used to treat a truly diverse range of symptoms and conditions. Treatment would generally be weekly to begin with although a single session will suffice for some. Many people react very well to acupuncture whilst for others the change is more modest. In addition to treating the problem, patients often notice acupuncture promotes relaxation and wellbeing. Acupuncture sessions with Dr Bull can be booked at samedaydoctor City clinic.
