Worldwide, people who see Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners might go for any number of reasons…
- Acupuncture has been used to help people gain holistic wellbeing for thousands of years.
- It is conservatively estimated to be around 2,500 years old; some historians believe it is even older.
- Today it is in use in contemporary complementary (and some integrated health) practices all around the world.
- It has become firmly established as one of the more widely available complementary health options used in the West.
Research published in 2009 found that Traditional Chinese Medicine accounted for approximately 1.3 billion outpatient visits within the Chinese public healthcare system in 2008 (1).
The UK’s National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) decided that the NHS should offer acupuncture for patients with lower back pain in 2009.
The World Health Organisation has shown an interest in acupuncture for some time now. In 2003, it produced a report synthesising the findings of many studies of acupuncture in use. This concluded that evidence existed for acupuncture to be of benefit for a wide variety of listed conditions.
