What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is...
Acupuncture has been extensively used for over 2000 years and has a growing body of evidence-based research discovering its benefits for a wide range of health conditions. It is recognised by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence and the World Health Organisation as being an effective treatment.
​
It is drug free, pain free, non-invasive treatment that encourages the body to heal itself by stimulating internal resources such as pain relief, anti-inflammatories, and hormones.
​
The diagnostic process establishes the cause of the problem, and the treatment plan restores overall balance to resolved issues and maintain a health body and mind.
