Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a holistic approach to healing and management of disease, as well as the maintenance of health, which has been practiced in China and other Far Eastern countries for thousands of years.

Although often described as a means of pain relief, it is in fact used to treat people with a wide range of illnesses. The skill of an acupuncturist lies in the ability to make a traditional diagnosis from what is often a complex pattern of disharmony. The focus is on improving overall well being, rather than the isolated treatment of specific symptoms.

According to traditional Chinese philosophy, our health is dependent on the body’s motivating energy – its Qi – moving in a smooth and balanced way through a series of pathways in the body.

The exact pattern and degree of disharmony is unique to each individual and with traditional acupuncture will be treated as such with a personalised treatment plan.
