Acupuncture is considered suitable for all ages, including babies, children, the elderly and also those at the end of their life.  It can also be used effectively alongside conventional medicine. Kath works with all ages, across the whole spectrum of life: from those wishing to create a life (infertility and childbirth) and those whose life is near ending (palliative care for the terminally ill)

Many people come to acupuncture for help with specific symptoms or conditions, or to relieve specific pain like osteoarthritis of the knee. Some use acupuncture because they feel generally unwell, but have no specific diagnosis. Others choose acupuncture simply to enhance their feeling of well-being.
