What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that uses needles to stimulate the balance and flow of Qi energy through the body. According to TCM, Qi energy flows along pathways (known as meridians) connected throughout the whole body. When the energy of flow is smooth, the body is in good health; when the flow of energy is deficient or obstructed, it indicates a susceptibility for illness.
A treatment involves using extremely thin, medical grade acupuncture needles. Often, there is no perception of the needle or it may be described as a small, light pinch when the needle is inserted. Your Acupuncturist may also use a technique called “cupping” for specific circulatory reasons, and will give home care advice ranging from exercise to lifestyle changes.
A recommended course of treatment can be made after a complete assessment by one of our doctors. Acupuncture can also be a very effective form of treatment when other forms of therapy have failed.
