Acupuncture

We offer Acupuncture as part of the Traditional Chinese Medicine system. This form of acupuncture goes back thousands of years but is very relevant in modern life as it can help to restore balance.

Acupuncture is the practice of inserting very fine needles into the skin at specific points and can help with pain, stress and healing, on its own or complementary to western medicine.

What can Acupuncture be used for?

Our practitioner is often contacted by and treats those with:

  • Stress
  • Anxiety
  • Pain of any kind
  • Fertility problems
  • Skin conditions

Does Acupuncture Hurt?

The fine needles used in acupuncture are very different to standard needles used in medicine. Our highly trained TCM practitioner will explain what to expect at your first session and ensure you are comfortable throughout. Clients have reported they hardly feel the needles being inserted and often feel a deep sense of relaxation which can continue after the needles have been removed.

How is Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture different?

The viewpoint of Traditional Chinese Medicine is that illness or disease are caused by the body being out of balance whether this is physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. In China TCM is routinely used to maintain health, so is quite different from our Western medical system which looks to treat symptoms and disease.

Treatment with Acupuncture as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine seeks to improve the quality and flow of “Qi” throughout the body which is a vital energy or life force. As the condition improves so might the feeling of overall wellbeing.

Traditional Chinese Medicine consists of a number of treatment options including

  • Acupuncture
  • Dietary Therapy
  • Chinese herbs
  • Cupping
  • Moxibustion
