About acupuncture

According to traditional Chinese medical theory health is dependent upon the smooth and balanced flow of energy through a number of channels or meridians in the body. This energy is known as qi. The flow of qi can be disturbed by various factors. These include stress and anxiety, pain, poor diet, lifestyle and hereditary factors. Imbalances can manifest in a variety of health problems.

Acupuncture seeks to restore balance and to stimulate the body's own healing response by the insertion of extremely fine needles into various points on the body. Treatment aims to address the root of your health problem, not just the symptoms.
