What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine needles into specific points  located along the bodies energy pathways called Meridians. This stimulation has a positive influence on the functioning of the internal organs, rebalancing the body and restoring health.
​Acupuncture forms part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a complete holistic medical system which aims to prevent illness and maintain health by improving the flow of blood and oxygen through the body. One way of achieving this balance is through Acupuncture. 

Why choose Acupuncture
Acupuncture has a wide range of applications, from treating illness and pain to promoting health,  wellbeing and vitality . Acupuncture can be used to heal and support the body during an acute injury or can be used as a longer term strategy for coping with stress and achieving optimum health, common uses include.
  •  Pain relief: One of the most common and successful uses of acupuncture is pain relief, when administered properly pain can in some cases be relieved in seconds. Acupuncture works by stimulating the bodys own healing mechanism and therefore has no side effects. Acupuncture has been shown to be so successful in the treatment of back pain that the government body N.I.C.E has recommended acupuncture for this type of injury.
  • Fertility, IVF Support & Pregnancy:
  • Acupuncture for Sport:  Acupunctures pain relieving effects are excellently suited to sports injuries and when used with herbal medicine can be one of the quickest and most effective treatment modalities in the field of sports injuries. Regular treatments can also improve energy and endurance levels, prevent injuries and improve range of motion. One of the most obvious benifits is better quality sleep which is essential for any athlete.
  • Cosmetic Acupuncture: Cosmetic acupuncture rejuvenates facial tissue by increasing circulation to the area stimulating collagen and elastin production. Cosmetic acupuncture has been shown to be an effective way of removing fine lines and wrinkles helping to achieve an overall youthful glow. When we are healthy on the inside it shows on the outside and for this reason traditional chinese medicine aims to also restore health to the body through diagnosing any deficiencys and restoring these with the correct acupuncture and herbal medicine.
  • Acupuncture for Health & Wellbeing: Mordern living requires we work at higher levels of stress than we have ever done before. This hectic pace can place the body in a constant hyper-vigilent state.This level of stress places pressure on our internal organs and with heart attacks, strokes and cancers at all time highs its not hard to see we are out of balance. Having regular acupuncture treatments can help restore that balance not only by improving restorative sleep but also by boosting our immune system leaving us ready to face the world. 
  • Acupuncture for mental health: Depression, anxiety and other mental health related conditions have been treated in China for thousands of years. These conditions are seen no different than any other and are also seen as a disfunction in the flow of Qi ( vital energy ). Acupuncture and herbal medicine can restore the flow of the vital energy and therefore relieve the depression.
  • Female health: Menstrual issues , painful periods, lack of periods or irregular periods  as well as menopausal symptoms all respond very well to TCM.

Initial consultation will usually require one and a half hours ,this time is needed to take a history of your health and also time for an acupuncture treatment
