Chinese Acupuncture Treatment

Acupuncture has been practiced in China and the Far East for thousands of years as an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Acupuncture is a safe and effective system of healing and can be used to treat people of all ages with a wide range of illnesses.
According to Chinese philosophy, our physical health is dependant on the balanced flow of qi, the universal life force. The smooth flow of qi can be disturbed by a number of factors, amongst them emotional stress, anger, fear or grief, hereditary dispositions or outside influences such as poor nutrition, infection or trauma.

Since prehistoric times, the Chinese people have evolved a complex theoretical framework based on practical clinical experience to guide a trained acupuncturist to restore these imbalances by the insertion of very fine needles into energy-channels called meridians. In this way an acupuncturist aims to stimulate the body's own healing power and restore the innate equilibrium and harmonious state of balance of the physical and emotional aspects that constitute health and wellbeing.

Acupuncture treatment can be received in two ways:

1. In a one-to-one treatment.
2. At a reduced cost at our Community Pain Clinic .
