Acupuncture is successful in the treatment of autoimmune disease
Autoimmune disease
The immune system is the bodies specialised defence system, its job is to protect the body from invasion from bacteria, viruses and fungi.
An autoimmune disease occurs when the body’s immune system attacks healthy tissue.
Symptoms can vary widely from one illness to another, and also within the same disease. Because the diseases affect different body systems at the same time symptoms can be misleading. Individual diseases can range from mild to severe.
Acupuncture is successful in the treatment of autoimmune disorders and is recognised for its use in pain relief, and the regulation of the immune system.
Acupuncture helps to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Acupuncture treats the person, not the precise condition. All the signs and symptoms are examined closely in order to form a diagnosis and treatment plan, with the aim of bringing the immune system back into balance reducing inflammation, alleviating pain and improving energy and vitality.
