How does
Accupuncture
work?
In acupuncture extremely fine needles are inserted into
selected
meridian points on the body
These needles activate the
body’s own healing processes, helps to clear blockages and
opens reservoirs which replenish exhausted energy reserves
This helps
in treating illness or injury and prevents disease. Acupuncture
acknowledges that we are all unique and the treatments are patient
specific
The Treatment
On the first consultation a full case history will be taken,
including
medical history, lifestyle and diet. The Chinese tools of diagnosis use
the tongue and pulse and these help to identify the cause of disharmony
and indicate the most suitable treatment
The acupuncture points are carefully chosen to achieve
maximum benefit
with as few needles as possible, usually 1-5. The needles stay inserted
for approximately 20 minutes
What can
Acupuncture
help?
Acupuncture can treat almost any physical, emotional or
mental
disharmony by stimulating and enhancing the body’s own
healing mechanism
