We’ve seen the demand for acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine grow in recent years. As we as a society put more focus on our health and the strength of our immune systems, as well as our emotional wellbeing, it’s likely that treatments like acupuncture could play a role in the post-quarantine health plan of many people.
Myofascial release helps to reduce pain and discomfort, but it’s also a way to prevent it in the future. And while you can enjoy a number of benefits with the help of a talented practitioner, there are a few things you can do yourself to get the most out of this treatment method.

Some people choose to be treated with acupuncture as part of their strategy to resolve fertility issues. Often, it is chosen as a complementary approach alongside IVF.
Acupuncture is believed to have a restorative effect on the body and is recognised by the NHS and other health organizations as a viable treatment plan for certain conditions. And when done properly, acupuncture has few side effects and risks.
Acupuncture is used for a range of health problems, including chronic back pain, headaches and migraines. While it is used as a treatment method in Western medicine and is recognised by organisations such as the NHS, it has roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
In the world of acupuncture, you’ll likely find practitioners who prescribe to either of the two fields: Western (or ‘medical’) acupuncture or traditional Chinese acupuncture. So what’s the difference between these two versions?
