What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a holistic therapy used for 3000 years to prevent illnesses and maintain health.

It is recognised by the World Health Organization as effective in treating over 100 conditions. Acupuncture is based on the theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with emphasis on the importance of balance in body & mind.

Acupuncture treatment involves the insertion of very thin disposable needles into acupuncture points. This needling aims to balance the harmony of Yin and Yang and regulate the smooth flow of Qi (vital energy) in the body, to help achieve the restoration of healthy physical and mental conditions.

Acupuncture aims to improve the quality of people's life.

 

How many visits will I need ?

This depends on how you respond to treatment and the nature of your complaint. Expect to visit once a week for an average of six treatments to fairly assess how well you are improving. We will monitor your progress at each appointment to ascertain whether you are progressing as expected.
