Can Acupuncture Treat Insomnia?
Many patients ask me if acupuncture can help treat insomnia. The answer is an emphatic yes! Insomnia is typically characterised as an inability to fall asleep, stay asleep, or waking up groggy in the morning.
I’m sure everyone has experienced this from time to time. Is there anything more frustrating than lying in bed staring at the ceiling knowing you should be asleep?
While insomnia can be temporary due to changes in schedule or new stresses in your life, hopefully it is not a persistent issue for you. Today I want to talk about chronic insomnia. Chronic insomnia isn’t just frustrating; it can have a major impact on your quality of life and your health.

How can you deal with Incontinence?
Dribbling your way through life may sound amusing, but having an incontinence problem is generally considered to be a very embarrassing situation. It can be difficult to manage, depending on the severity, and the urine residue can smell unpleasant, which limits the social life of many sufferers. Suffering incontinence can cause a person to restrict their activities, as always needing a toilet nearby can be daunting, particularly when travelling.
Although incontinence is rarely talked about, you are not alone with this condition. Incontinence is such a common health problem that it affects about 3.8 million Australians from all walks of life.
