Acupuncture
Acupuncture originated in China over 2,000 years ago. The technique uses fine sterile needles inserted at specific points on the body in order to restore the balance of qi (energy; pronounced "chee") flowing along a number of meridians (channels) in the body. Each of the 12 main meridians has its own pulse and the acupuncturist checks these carefully and questions the patient regarding all aspects of health and lifestyle as well as specific symptoms, in order to decide which points to stimulate.
The technique has been shown to be remarkably successful at stopping pain, and in China major operations have been carried out using only acupuncture for pain relief. Scientists have discovered that the needles appear to make the body produce its own natural painkillers, endorphins. The World Health Organisation recognises acupuncture's ability to treat over many common disorders.
Acupuncture can treat the following conditions and many more... arthritis, gastrointestinal problems, menstrual pain and disorders, pre-menstrual syndrome, infertility, respiratory disorders, insomnia, tiredness, dizziness, acute and chronic pain, depression and anxiety, addictions and ENT disorders.
Acupuncture can also act as a supportive therapy for other chronic and painful debilitating disorders.
Acute conditions may require twice-weekly appointments, for which a reduced fee is charged.
Facial rejuvenation acupuncture is also available. Using very fine needles and electrical stimulation to boost blood flow and tone facial muscles. Includes cleanse, tone and facial massage. Relaxes the face and may reduce signs of ageing.
