Traditional Needles, Electroacupuncture & Needle Free

Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine which involves the insertion of very fine needles at key points (known as acupuncture points) into the body.

Acupuncture is based on the Chinese belief that the human body is controlled by a life force known as Qi (pronounced 'chee'). Qi flows through the body in channels, known as meridians. When your Qi is disturbed, or unbalanced, it can make you unwell.

Acupuncture aims to restore the balance of Qi, and helps it to run smoothly through your body.

Western Medical Acupuncture derived from the above mentioned method and follows the western view and structure of dealing with health issues. A medical diagnosis has to be given by a GP or Consultant to enable the acupuncturist to apply a precise formula for the presenting condition.

The aim is to aid the body to self healing. It is the only form of acupuncture being able to be included into the present NHS system. Amount of treatment sessions required depends on the condition, severity and the respond of the patient’s body.

An indication can be given by the practitioner but a minimum of 4 treatments is strongly advised. Combination therapies may be also recommended at the discretion of the therapist.
