Acupuncture Therapy

Acupuncture which originated from ancient China is one of the oldest commonly used alternative or ‘complimentary medical’ procedures in the world. It has proven benefits in aiding the recovery from illness and injury. The technique involves inserting thin, disposable filiform needles into specific meridian points throughout the body.

According to traditional chinese medicine theory, illness is caused by obstructed energy flow at certain points along the meridians. Acupuncture therapy stimulates meridian flow and harmonises the body’s energy to influence the health of both body and mind. The needles may be hand manipulated or connected through electrical stimulation. Stimulating these points helps correct imbalances in the body which will reduce pain and increase functionality. Most people find acupuncture relaxing and experience minimal discomfort.
