Traditional Oriental Medicine
Acupuncture is a system of healing which has been practiced in China, Japan and other Eastern countries for thousands of years. In an acupuncture treatment, small, fine, sterile needles are inserted just under the surface of the skin to stimulate the body to achieve balance and harmony.
Acupuncture is effective because it is a holistic therapy that addresses the cause of any disharmony as well as the symptoms. This means that as a result of acupuncture treatment, you will experience an overall improvement in the quality of your health as well as relief from symptoms.
The sensation of acupuncture can feel like a tingling, pulling or a dull aching sensation. After a treatment, patients commonly feel relaxed yet also energised. People who have only experienced injections or blood tests at the doctor or dentist are generally amazed at how painless acupuncture is.
