Acupuncture is an ancient technique using fine needles to manipulate the energetic meridians within the body, to restore balance and alleviate symptoms.
Chinese medical theory is based on Taoist philosophy, in which patterns of nature are observed to gain understanding of human energetics, and mind-body-spirit relationships. Treatment is determined using thorough patient history and symptom analysis, along with pulse diagnosis and observation.
After your TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) pattern of disharmony has been diagnosed, acupuncture points are selected according to their specific functions. Sterile, single use needles are then inserted at these points and retained for around 20 minutes. The process is usually painless, and often leads people into a deeply relaxed state.
Acupuncture has been shown to have an effect on circulation and blood pressure, stimulation of the immune and hormonal systems, as well as to relax muscle tissue and encourage the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response.
Clients report that treatment is both relaxing and invigorating, with immediate relief often experienced for symptoms of acute conditions, whilst more chronic/long term conditions may require a series of treatments for lasting results.
We would be happy to talk with you to determine if acupuncture is suitable for your condition, so please give us a call.
