Acupuncture is an ancient practice of medicine which has been used to restore, promote and maintain good health for thousands of years.  Originating in the Far East, acupuncture balances the flow of energy around the body to restore and maintain harmony which encourages healing.

Good health is dependent on the smooth flow of energy, known as qi, around the body through a series of channels, meridians, beneath the skin.  Emotional as well as physical states can result in a disruption in the flow of qi which leads to ill health.

Very fine needles are inserted into specific points on the surface of the body to stimulate the smooth flow of qi.  This initiates the  body’s natural therapeutic responses.  Acupuncture promotes a feeling of all round well being as well as the alleviation of specific symptoms and conditions.
