What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese Medicine that has been used for over 2,000 years. It is based on the principle of Qi (energy) flowing through the body along pathways called meridians. When this flow of energy is disrupted, it can lead to illness and pain. Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points along these meridians, which can help to restore the balance of Qi and promote healing.

What does an Acupuncture Treatment look like?
Acupuncture treatments typically involve the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body, although other techniques such as electro-acupuncture, heat therapy, and cupping may also be used. The needles are inserted to different depths depending on the condition being treated, and are left in place for 20-30 minutes. The procedure is relatively painless, and clients often report feeling a sense of relaxation and well-being after a treatment.
Our practitioners are highly trained and experienced in the use of acupuncture and will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and goals.
Top 5 benefits of regular Acupuncture Treatments
Pain Relief
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can be effective in reducing chronic pain, such as lower back pain, neck pain, and headaches. This is achieved by inserting thin needles into specific points on the body, which can stimulate the nervous system to release natural pain-relieving chemicals. Acupuncture can also improve circulation and reduce inflammation, which can further help to alleviate pain.
Stress and Anxiety Reduction
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can help to reduce stress and improve overall well-being. The needles used in acupuncture can stimulate the release of the body’s natural feel-good chemicals, such as endorphins and serotonin, which can help to promote a sense of calm and relaxation. Chinese herbal medicine can also be used to balance the body’s energy and help to reduce feelings of anxiety and tension.
Improved Sleep
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can help to improve sleep quality and treat insomnia. Acupuncture can stimulate the release of melatonin, the body’s natural sleep hormone, and help to regulate the body’s internal clock. Chinese herbal medicine can also be used to calm the mind and promote relaxation, which can help to improve sleep quality.
Immune System Support
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can help to boost the immune system and prevent illness. Acupuncture can improve the circulation of white blood cells, which can help to strengthen the immune system and fight off infection. Chinese herbal medicine can also be used to support the immune system and prevent illness.
Improved Digestion
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can help to improve digestion and treat conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome and acid reflux. Acupuncture can stimulate the release of digestive enzymes and improve the function of the digestive tract. Chinese herbal medicine can also be used to support the digestive system and treat specific digestive issues.
Additionally, Acupuncture can help to regulate the balance of Qi, the body’s natural energy flow, which can help to improve digestion and reduce symptoms of bloating and constipation.
