Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a part of Chinese Medicine, along with Tuina massage and Herbal Medicine. It uses very fine disposable needles to stimulate the body’s own physiological and emotional health.

It is mainly known for pain relief, but many other conditions can be helped. Chinese Medicine views the body as its own eco system, constantly functioning, producing, clearing and fixing itself. With disturbances through lifestyle, injuries or constitutional factors, balance is upset and illness follows. Acupuncture and herbs aim to restore the body’s own capacities to heal itself.

This may be done with acupuncture needles, acupressure, moxibustion, cupping, tuina massage, sports massage, ear acupuncture or herbal remedies.    Each person is an individual the diagnosis is made up from presenting symptoms, e.g. headaches can be very different in location on the head, time and triggers.   Acupuncture has become an acceptable and popular medicine in the West and many find relief by trying this effective and relaxing treatment.
