What is Acupuncture?

Traditional acupuncture is a complex system of medicine developed in the far east more than 2,500 years ago. It uses fine sterile needles and in some cases electrical stimulation of these to stimulate your energy and natural healing processes. Acupuncture is now used and often recommended by many General Practitioners.

Treatment

A 45 minute assessment will involve taking a full medical history, looking at your tongue, assessing your pulses and testing your main senses. A treatment plan will then be designed to suit your specific needs.

The precise number of treatments required depends on the individual but often 6 to 8 treatments can be enough to start to restore health and fitness.
