Are You Sick and Tired of Feeling Sick and Tired? How do you respond when someone asks you how you’re feeling? ‘Couldn’t be better’? Or is it more likely that you feel tired, run down, sick or in pain? Every so often our body and mind gets out of balance – whether through age, disease, accident or lifestyle - which leads to sickness and ill-health. My principal aim as an acupuncturist is to treat the whole person and re-establish their physical and emotional equilibrium.
