NUH is one of the four public hospitals that offers acupuncture treatment to patients. Prof Lee Tat Leang said that the NUH acupuncture clinic receives more than 11,000 patient visits annually, and it is expecting to treat more patients this year. The clinic has been relocated to larger premises at the NUH Medical Centre in December 2016. Close to 80 per cent of cases are for pain, usually caused by degenerative processes affecting the spine and joints, Prof Lee added. Other conditions include menstrual pain, migraines, insomnia and frozen shoulder.
