Acupuncture for Chronic Illness in Brighton

Are you looking for acupuncture for chronic illness? I am a Brighton Acupuncturist specialising in supporting people living with chronic illness, pain and functional diseases.

Chronic illness is a long-term health condition that typically last for a year or more. It may require ongoing medical attention or management. Typically, treatment requires a multi-faceted approach that includes both Western and complimentary medicine.

Chronic diseases are typically difficult to treat and Western medicine doesn’t always have the answers. Functional diseases are especially tricky as they’re difficult to detect via standard medical tests. Traditional acupuncture is particularly good at treating these conditions as we treat you and your symptoms rather than the disease.

Acupuncture for chronic illness is safe, effective, and can be used alongside other treatments as part of an integrated care plan. Acupuncture can help you live a fuller life and provide vital pain relief.
