Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and has been practiced for over two thousand years. It is widely recognised for its ability to promote natural healing and regulate the body’s energy systems.
Treatment involves the insertion of ultra-fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body known as acupuncture points, which lie along pathways called meridians.
Acupuncture helps restore the free flow of energy (Qi), bringing the body back into balance.
Acupuncture may be used as part of a broader approach to support pain, stress, sleep, digestion, fertility, pregnancy and women’s health.
What does it feel like?
Most people find acupuncture gentle and surprisingly relaxing.
You may feel a brief sensation as the needle is inserted, followed by a dull ache, warmth or heaviness around the point. Once the needles are in place, many patients feel relaxed and some even fall asleep during treatment.
“Many of our patients say their acupuncture sessions are the most relaxing part of their week.”
