Traditional chinese medical acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient system of healing developed over thousands of years as part of the traditional medicine of China. Here in the West acupuncture is usually publicised as only being helpful with specific conditions such as pain relief. It is in fact effective with a wide variety of conditions through it's power to stimulate the mind & body's own healing responses.

Acupuncture is suitable for people of all ages from babies to the elderly. Needles are normally left in for 20-30 minutes and during this time there may be a heavy sensation in the limbs and a pleasant feeling of relaxation.

The skill of an acupuncturist lies in their ability to make a traditional diagnosis from what is often a complex pattern of disharmony or dysfunction.
