Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient form of health care, which has been developed over thousands of years. It aims to treat the whole person and restore the balance between the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of the individual. Whilst being well known for its ability to relieve pain, acupuncture is also extremely effective in a wide variety of conditions through its power to stimulate the mind and body's own healing response.

During the first consultation a detailed case history will be taken to determine the nature of any disharmony. Following further examination, needles are then inserted at specific acu-points to correct and regulate the circulation of qi (internal energy). (Only sterile, disposable needles are used).

Moxibustion (a process using a smouldering herb) may also be used to warm and stimulate points. The number of treatments required will depend on the duration and severity of the condition. This will be discussed at the first consultation.
