WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?

Acupuncture is a part of the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which has developed in China for over 3,000 years. Acupuncture works to help maintain your body’s equilibrium. Its focus is on improving the overall well-being of the patient, rather than the isolated treatment of specific symptoms.

Acupuncture treatment is performed by applying the very fine needles into specific points on the body to regulate the flow of ‘Qi’, your body’s vital energy. For a number of lifestyle and environmental reasons, Qi can become disturbed, depleted or blocked, which can result in some symptoms of pain and illness. It stimulates the body ability to overcome conditions by correcting energy imbalances and prompts the body to produce chemicals that decrease painful sensation. In certain instances, traditional acupuncture can be an effective therapy to help restore balance and promote physical and emotional harmony. Treatment is aimed at the root of your condition as well as your main symptoms. This approach helps with resolving your problem and enhancing your feeling of well-being. You may notice other niggling problems resolve as your main health complaint improves.
