The role of acupuncture in treatment, alongside modern medicine, should not be underestimated. In contrast to traditional Chinese Acupuncture, modern medical acupuncture is not used as a replacement treatment but rather as an additional, or supportive treatment that can offer many benefits to the patient.

For example, modern medical acupuncture may allow the dose of drugs being taken by a patient to be dramatically reduced.

Felix Mann is the foremost acupuncture writer in the UK, and the man responsible for changing traditional acupuncture to a more modern medical application. Dr Eric Jones has studied under Felix Mann and is able to offer acupuncture to patients at the Chadwell Heath Dental Practice.

Modern acupuncture is free from the side effects of drugs and can offer long lasting relief of the patient’s symptoms.
