Acupuncture

Acupuncture works in several ways:

Meridian System: Acupuncture points lie on meridians, channels through which Qi flows.

Needle Stimulation: Thin needles are inserted into these points to correct imbalances and promote self-healing.

Nervous System Activation: Acupuncture is believed to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissues, enhancing blood flow and triggering the body’s natural painkillers.

If you have an ongoing physical or emotional condition that it seems conventional medicine and other therapies are ineffective at alleviating?

You have tried all manner of treatments to try and get relief from pain and other symptoms?

You have a chronic illness or recurring pain related to injury?

You have a sports injury and want to get back to full fitness?

- Consultation: Assessment of symptoms and overall health.

- Needle Placement: Small, sterile needles are inserted. Slight tingling or pressure may be felt.

- Relaxation: Needles are left in place for 20–40 minutes while the patient relaxes.

Our practitioner stays with the patient throughout the session, so if the patient is feeling nervous, the practitioner is on hand for support.
