Is it safe?

Acupuncture has a very sound track record. The needles used are single-use, sterile and

disposable. Responses to treatment can sometimes include tiredness or mild dizziness, and

on occasion minor bruising may occur. However, all such reactions are short-lived.

What does it feel like?

Acupuncture needles are much finer than needles used for injections and blood tests. When the needle is inserted, the sensation is often described as a tingling or dull ache.

What can acupuncture do for me?

Acupuncture is widely considered to be beneficial for a range of complaints and symptoms, such as specific pain from osteo-arthritis of the knee, through to more general feelings of ill health such as stress or low energy.

Acupuncture is a tried and tested system of complementary medicine. The Chinese and other eastern cultures have been using acupuncture to restore, promote and maintain good health for thousands of years. Traditional acupuncture is part of the healthcare system in China.

The point of acupuncture

Acupuncture works to maintain the body’s equilibrium by focusing on all aspects of well being; 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.  

The flow of qi can be disturbed by any number of factors. These include emotional states such as anger or grief, poor nutrition, hereditary factors and trauma.  When qi is unbalanced, illness may result.

The aim of the Acupuncturist is to stimulate the body’s own healing responses and restore its natural balance.

Who has acupuncture?

Many people come to acupuncture for help with specific symptoms or conditions, and some because they simply feel generally unwell. Others choose acupuncture to enhance their feeling of well being. Acupuncture is considered suitable for all ages. It can also be used alongside conventional medicine.
