Acupuncture

Service Description

Acupuncture is a branch of traditional medicine that has been practised in China and the far east for thousands of years. It has been developed, tested, researched and refined over this time into a treatment option accessed by increasing numbers of patients in the West. Many people have acupuncture to relieve specific ailments and often pain such as osteoarthritis , TMJ pain, headaches and low back pain, or for common health problems like an overactive bladder, or digestive disorders. Other people choose acupuncture when they can feel their body is out of balance for peri menopause, hormonal issues or an issue that may have no obvious western diagnosis. Many also have regular treatments simply because they find it beneficial and relaxing. The focus for a traditional acupuncturist is on the patient as an individual and not just their specific illness, and all symptoms are seen as part of an interconnected pattern. Treatment involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points which are said to affect the flow of your body’s qi, or vital energy.
