WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is one of the longest established forms of healthcare in the world.
Acupuncturists are trained to use subtle diagnostic techniques that have been developed and refined for thousands of years.
The focus is on you as an individual, not your illness, and all symptoms are seen in relation to each other.

Treatment involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body to affect the flow of your body’s qi, or vital energy.

How does acupuncture work?

Acupuncturists insert very fine needles at precisely located points to connect with your body’s qi.

They will decide which points are right for you after a detailed consultation covering every aspect of your health and lifestyle.

The aim is to direct the flow of qi to trigger your body’s healing response and to restore physical, emotional and mental equilibrium.

Treatment is designed to affect your whole being as well as your symptoms so, as the condition being treated improves, you may notice other health problems resolve and an increased feeling of wellbeing.
