Acupuncture
Restoring balance to the mind and body
Acupuncture works to restore balance which can be disrupted by emotional or physical stress, poor nutrition, infection, injury or illness.
It is distinctly different from other types of medicine (e.g. western medicine) allowing a completely different approach to health and wellbeing. TCM acupuncture is informed by the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine that have been developed and refined over thousands of years. Ultra-fine, sterile needles are placed into specific acupuncture points stimulating the body’s natural healing response.
One of the key strengths of traditional acupuncture is the focus on the individual, not the illness or condition. Signs and symptoms are considered in relation to one another making each treatment tailored to each individual’s needs at that specific time.

Who can benefit from acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an extremely gentle form of treatment, which can be used alongside conventional medicine or other therapies to reduce and alieviate symptoms for a range of conditions.
People turn to acupuncture for help with a specific symptom or condition, whilst others choose to have treatment to help maintain good health or to enhance their feeling of wellbeing
Examples of specific symptoms include are for example to relieve specific pains like osteoarthritis of the knee. Some use acupuncture because they feel generally unwell but have no obvious diagnosis.
Acupuncture aims to treat the whole person rather than specific symptoms in isolation, it is all about you and what you need, and this differs from person-to-person.
