What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a system of medicine that has been used for thousands of years in China and other parts of Asia. High quality research and clinical trials are demonstrating its efficacy in successfully treating a wide range of physical and psychological complaints.

Traditional Acupuncturists understand there are channels of energy (Qi) running through the whole body that all interconnect. When blockages or disharmony occur in the channels illness can arise physically, mentally and emotionally.

In an acupuncture treatment, certain points are stimulated, using very fine, single use, stainless steel needles. This promotes a balanced Qi flow throughout the network of channels, encouraging health to be restored.
As a result, patients often report that in addition to addressing their main complaint, for example chronic migraines, they also feel increased energy levels and a sense of feeling better in themselves.

Your first session includes an in-depth consultation about your current state of health, your medical history, your diet, digestion, sleep, emotional state etc.. Everything you say is confidential.
