What can acupuncture do?

Acupuncture is one of the oldest  forms of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This is a holistic form of preventative medicine in use for over 2,500 years.

The Chinese view the human body as a giant “power grid”. It  is an organised, communicating system of energy pathways. These pathways run through the entire human body. Acupuncture is based on the belief that we are dynamic beings of constantly moving and evolving energies. Disease is imbalance in our energy system.

Imbalance within our energy systems causes blockages in our bodies. These blockages switch certain acupuncture points ‘off’, causing pain, stiffness and disease.

We switch these points back ‘on’, using single use sterile stainless steel needles. The needles help to dissipate the energy blockage, which in turn allows the body to heal itself.

Acupuncture is an instrument of change and can effect great transformations.

What does an Acupuncture treatment entail?

Your full history is taken. This covers your medical and family history, general health, lifestyle and stresses. We tailor a specific treatment plan for you based on this history. This consists of acupuncture, aromatherapy, massage, therapeutic conversations and wellness education.  Treatments take around 1 – 1.5 hrs.

The needles will often bring out emotions and events that have been locked in the body. These events and emotions are “embodied knowing”. Patients are encouraged to take this unfolding knowledge to the other health practitioners they are consulting. This speeds up the healing process.

The treatments can enhance your physical and emotional wellbeing, improving your sense of wellness, enabling  you cope well with the stresses you face in your life. You will gain clarity about your physical, spiritual and emotional being. Treatments assist in restoring the vitality you require to make good decisions and positive changes in your life.
