Acupuncture is a medical treatment developed in China thousands of years ago that has received a huge amount of interest, and is now becoming increasingly popular in the West. It may be used to
treat a wide range of medical conditions. Amongst these are a number of problems that may be diagnosed and treated by your dentist, ranging from gagging during treatment, to facial and jaw pain
problems.
Acupuncture is a safe treatment, and can be used in combination with other treatments, such as physiotherapy, and conventional medicine. Research often shows that the results achieved with
acupuncture are as good as conventional medicine (not necessarily better), but often with fewer side effects.
