Natural healing that feels good

 

Acupuncture is part of the Traditional Chinese Medicinal (TCM) system, which has been used to diagnose, treat, and prevent illness for more than 3,000 years. It is accepted around the globe as a safe, effective and holistic alternative or complement to modern conventional medicine.

Acupuncture promotes a deep state of relaxation and stimulates your body to heal itself. It may balance hormones and blood flow, removes blockage and pain and brings vitality to tired, and weak areas of the body. People are often surprised that acupuncture is generally pain free.

Pain is one of the most common reasons that people seek treatment with acupuncture, however because acupuncture is a complete health care system, there is very little that does not benefit from a course of acupuncture treatments. Here are just some of the things that acupuncture may treat: Acute & chronic pain conditions such as neck, shoulder, back, knee, and ankle injuries, sciatica, and arthritis; men's & women's fertility, pregnancy, and labour induction, stress, anxiety, and depression, headaches and migraines, digestive disorders, addictions such as smoking, eating disorders, drugs and alcohol, and constitutional facial acupuncture.

Fine, sterile, disposable acupuncture needles are inserted into few of the many hundreds of acupuncture points to stimulate and facilitate the flow of Qi, assisting to restore balance and harmony to the individual.

Each person is treated for his or her individual imbalance and treatment is personalised regardless of the disease or conventional medical diagnosis. Acupuncture may be used as a complement alongside mainstream medical treatment.

Acupuncture prompts the body to recover from the negative effects of stress. It makes people feel light, calm and relaxed. Try it for yourself and enjoy the benefits!
