Acupuncture

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a branch of Chinese Medicine. Chinese Medicine is the oldest, professionally practiced medicine in the world. Over a quarter of the world’s population uses it

Western and Chinese Medicine are the two most dominant medical systems in the world today

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
