Acupuncture

Acupuncture promotes natural healing and improves functions in the body

Acupuncture treatment involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific sites (acupuncture points) along the body's meridians to clear energy blockages and encourage the normal flow of qi through the individual.

In acupuncture very thin needles, slightly thicker than a human hair, are inserted into acupuncture points. The objective of acupuncture is to regulate and normalize the flow of the Chi, so that the body may return to a state of dynamic equilibrium.

As a Natural Form of Healing, Acupuncture has the following benefits:

• Provides drug-free pain relief.
• Effectively treats a wide range of acute and chronic ailments.
• Treats the underlying cause of disease and illness as well as the symptoms.
• Provides an holistic approach to the treatment of disease and illness, linking body, mind and emotions.
• Assists in the prevention against disease and illness aswell as the maintenance of general well-being.

Both pre-birth and post-birth acupuncture are available.

As we know taking western medication in some circumstances may not be favourable for the development of the baby, a specialist trained Chinese Medical Practitioner will use acupuncture as a non-invasive form of treatment which has quite effective results. Check out our Pregnancy Acupuncture page.
