What is acupuncture?

Your physical and emotional health depend on natural energy in your body moving in a smooth and harmonious way through channels under the skin. When this flow is unbalanced, your health and well-being can suffer. Acupuncture can stimulate energy and restore your natural balance.

This ancient system of healing is recognised by the World Health Organisation as being effective in the relief of a wide variety of conditions. The British Medical Journal has confirmed that it is a safe, gentle form of treatment.

Acupuncture is holistic in its approach to the management of disease and the maintenance of health. It focuses on improving your overall well-being rather than just treating isolated symptoms.

What to expect

We insert very fine needles into the energy channels in your body. The aim is to stimulate your body’s own healing powers and restore its natural balance. Rest assured that the needles bear little resemblance to those used for injections! They are much finer, and all you’ll feel is a faint tingling.

You may need 4 to 6 weekly treatments for you to feel the benefits.

Who and what we treat

You may have responded poorly to conventional medicine. You may be worried about the side effects of drugs, or feeling it’s time to try a natural treatment.

We regularly see people suffering from anxiety, migraines, arthritis, asthma, hay fever, high blood pressure, circulatory problems, digestive disorders, skin conditions, sports injuries, infertility and menstrual problems, and morning sickness.
