Acupuncture works to maintain the body’s equilibrium by focusing on all aspects of wellbeing; physical, mental and emotional.  

Good health is not just the absence of pain or disease.  According to traditional Chinese philosophy, our health is dependent on the body’s motivating energy moving in a smooth and balanced way through a series of channels beneath the skin.  This energy is known as ‘qi’ (pronounced ‘chee’ ).

 

Chinese philosophy states that for a number of lifestyle and environmental reasons, qi can become disturbed, depleted or blocked, which can result in symptoms of pain, illness or dis-ease.  Sometimes acupuncture can be an effective therapy to help restore balance and promote physical and emotional harmony.

 

Because traditional acupuncture aims to treat the whole person rather than specific symptoms in isolation, it can be effective for a wide range of conditions. It can be used effectively alongside conventional medicine.

 

Treatment is aimed at the root cause of your condition, as well as your symptoms. This approach helps with resolving your problem and enhancing your feeling of wellbeing.  You may notice that other niggling problems resolve as your main health complaint improves.
