Acupuncture, one of the oldest and most commonly used medical procedures in the world, has now been medically proven as an effective treatment for infertility. Although often described as a means of pain relief, acupuncture is in fact used to treat people with a wide range of illnesses. Traditionally, acupuncture is a holistic approach to the management of disease as well as the day-to-day maintenance of health.

By inserting fine needles into the channels of energy, an acupuncturist can stimulate the body’s own healing response and help restore its natural balance. Dr. Zhijin Tang as a Bachelor of Medicine had many years practice in hospitals in China before coming to the UK, he is now a registered acupuncturist with the NHS Directory and HSA Healthcare. Dr Tang specialises in treating various skin disorders and gynecological conditions, such as Eczema, Psoriasis, Allergies, PMT and Menopause.

“Depending on the way acupuncture is applied, the patient may immediately feel the benefit of the treatment. For pain relief, sometimes there can be dramatic improvement after just one session, whereas a series of acupuncture treatments are usually required to improve fatigue and insomnia”, said Dr Tang. With nearly 10 years practice in the UK, Dr Tang has also proven that acupuncture can effectively help with conditions such as: arthritis, backache, anxiety, stress, depression, IBS, alcohol and nicotine addictions, sciatica, sports injuries, impotence and low sperm count.

TRADITIONAL Chinese medicine has arrived in Aldwick.

The Acusense Aldwick Acupuncture Clinic has opened on Aldwick Road to bring a 3,000 year old system of healthcare to the area even as conventional NHS services are under threat.

The clinic has been setup by Dr. Zhijin ‘Tom’ Tang, who has been practising in the UK since 2001.

A graduate from Beijing University, his degree covered modern medical sciences such as anatomy as well as long-standing treatments including herbal remedies and acupuncture.

Dr. Tang worked in hospitals in China before he moved to the UK. He said, “Traditional Chinese Medicine is a comprehensive system of healthcare that has evolved in China in the last 3,000 years.

“It has its own profound theoretical framework and offers a range of unique therapies such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, tai chi and tuina massage.

“Chinese Medicine regards the body as an organic whole, which should exist in harmony with the universe and where all the different parts are interconnected and interactive.

“Its emphasis, first of all, is on health promotion and prevention.”

Acupuncture should be used for a wide range of health from back ache to hay fever or to stop smoking.

The needles differ greatly from those used in injections and blood tests, he stated, and could lead to an enhanced sense of well-being.
