Acupuncture is an ancient system of healing developed over thousands of years in China, Japan and beyond. It is extremely effective in a wide variety of conditions through its power to stimulate the mind and body’s own healing response and restore energy balance to maintain health.
Acupuncture has evolved into a system of medicine that restores energy balance and maintains health by the insertion of fine sterile needles into acupuncture points just beneath the body surface.
There are 365 commonly used points on the body and over 2000 in total. These points are in very specific locations and lie on channels of energy.
Here in the West, acupuncture has often been misleadingly publicized as only being helpful for specific conditions, such as the relief of pain. In fact, it is extremely effective in a wide variety of conditions through its power to stimulate the mind and body’s own healing response. Contrary to some people’s belief, acupuncture is not a painful treatment. We use modern sterile, disposable needles which are extremely fine gauge and achieve an energy sensation rather than discomfort. Treatment is performed conforming to the highest standards of sterile procedures approved by the Department of Health.
