Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the oldest effective systems of medicine in the world with a
clearly recorded written history dating back over 2000 years. Archaeological evidence
suggests Acupuncture has been used for at least 3000-to-5000 years and as the same
points are applied in today's modern practise, their therapeutic benefits have withstood
the test of time.
Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine sterile disposable needles just under the skin
on specific locations on the body. Acupuncture points (acupoints) are specific points on
the body which are able to activate the flow of Qi (the vital energy of the body) to ease
tension and pain, and to promote relaxation and healing.
"to treat a part is to treat the whole"
The majority of acupoints are located along energy channels, called meridians. The
meridian channel system forms an elegant integrated energy network to promote
harmonious flow of energy throughout both body and mind, treating the whole person.

What happens during an acupuncture session?
An acupuncture treatment session will include a full consultation of your medical history
and presenting symptoms. A Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) consultation will then
be conducted to give a very specific idea of your energetic picture and how best to
promote it. A prescription of appropriate acupuncture points will be selected and
needled with your full consent. After treatment the needles are removed and
immediately disposed of; all needles used in treatment are pre-sterilised, single-use,
disposable needles. The length of acupuncture treatment is usually about 30 minutes
during which you will be allowed to relax in comfort (most people fall asleep!).
