What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture treatment involves the insertion of extremely fine pre-sterilised needles into predetermined points on the body’s surface to restore health. It can be used alone or combined with other forms of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) including:

Moxibustion  
Tui Na Massage                                                                                 
Dietary and Lifestyle advice                                                                                                          
Cupping

All acupuncture needles used are single use (one needle per point), sterile and disposable. The use of acupuncture and TCM is entirely safe and free from harmful side effects.

The World Health Organization lists the following conditions which respond well to acupuncture:

Acne, allergies, anaemia, anxiety, arthritis, asthma, back pain, facial paralysis, constipation, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, depression, digestive and bowel disorders, eczema, hay fever, hypertension, indigestion, insomnia, impotence, infertility, menopause, M.E., migraine and headaches, menstrual disorders, muscle and joint problems, nervous problems, oedema, palpitations, PMS, rheumatism, sciatica, sinusitis, sport injuries, stress, stomach disorders, tinnitus, urogenital disorders.
