Acupuncture has been used in China as a medicine for the last 3000 years. It's effectiveness has now been accepted as an alternative to traditional western medicine in many countries around the world.

Extremely fine, steralised needles are inserted into carefully selected points on the body which stimulates the body's natural ability to heal itself.

It promotes the production of natural resources within the body to relieve pain, regulate hormones and blood flow, release natural anti-inflammatories, relax muscles and enhance the immune system.

Acupuncture aims to treat the patient as a whole, finding the cause and imbalance in the body.

The practitioner will always begin a diagnosis by completing a total history of past and family illnesses as well as details of the immediate problem.

This gives a complete picture of the patients health and enables acupuncture to bring positive benefits to almost any ailment.  Regular treatments have also been known to be extremely beneficial as a preventative medicine.
