Acupuncture

[Richard]

Does anyone know a good acupuncture place?
There is one at the Chinese herb and gift shop near round the corner from George Street Amusements but not sure how good it is, etcetera.

I'm fed up with shoulder pain (from agressive gardening) and 'Physio' doesn't always work after one or two sessions anyway.
I was thinking acupunture might work - but nor sure.

I hear the Wellington Centre is really good.
Not cheap though from what I see on their website...

Thanks Geoff,

I hear there are two types:
1. Traditional Chinese Medicine based Acupuncture.
2. Western Medical Acupuncture.

ATCM = Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the other is referred to as Acupuncture UK - in this country.

I am advised that those who practice 'Chinese traditional' are the ones to go for (of the two), but then it gets confusing as there is a body called The British Acupuncture Council, which professionals may belong to, yet they may practice many different styles of acupuncture, which share a common root, but are distinct and different in their emphasis.

I need to do a bit more research I think.
