Learn more about Acupuncture |
| Acupuncture is based on the ancient Chinese philosophy that energy circulates through the body in a continual network of channels. In a healthy person, the energy is strong and runs smoothly resulting in them feeling well, having a good sense of well-being and a strong constitution. If the circulation of energy is hindered or blocked for some reason, ill health can occur. |
| It takes a holistic approach to diagnosis and treatment, considering each patient as a whole, and as a unique individual. It can be used to preserve health as well as to treat illness. It can treat a wide range of conditions. It aims to correct imbalances and bring the body, mind and emotions back to harmony and balance, just as conventional medicine also aims to bring the body back to a state of healthy homeostasis |
| It works by insertion of very thin needles into points, which are situated along specific energy pathways (meridians) all over the body. The meridians are linked to each other and to the vital organs. Points are stimulated to remove energetic blocks and balance the vital energy (Qi) in the meridians and their connected organ systems. |
| All of our practitioners integrate Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which focuses strongly on the process of disease, and Five Element acupuncture – a style which works with an individual’s constitution and can bring about profound emotional change. |
