Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an alternative medicine which originated in China and has been practised for over 5,000 years.

Very fine needles are inserted into the skin in order to balance the movement of energy, also known as Qi, in the body.

How does it work?

Acupuncturists use needles to stimulate specific anatomic points in the body (called acupoints or acupuncture points) for therapeutic purposes.

This releases endorphins into the nervous system which can help to provide pain relief, natural healing and emotional balance.
