Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been practiced in China for over 3000 years, and acupuncture is an integral part of this practice. TCM is a complex study of the balance and health of the body. Practitioners use a range of diagnostic techniques like tongue examination and pulse palpation to help pick up issues and monitor changes. It is a complete system of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease.

Safe & Effective

Acupuncture training includes in depth evidence-based training in the safe and effective insertion of needles for a range of conditions. They are usually left in for 20-30 minutes and then removed. Electro-acupuncture uses a similar technology to a TENs machine to send stimulation through the needles. Acupressure (massaging points) and ear seeds to stimulate acupressure points are available for patients who have needle anxiety.

About Acupunture

By identifying patterns of disharmony in the body and then using acupuncture, electroacupuncture and cupping you deal with the root cause of the problem and restore health. The needles are so fine that many patients barely feel them and most feel deeply relaxed during a treatment. Acupuncture is incredibly popular with patients for its ability to target the whole person, improve wellbeing and its success in supporting many health conditions.

First Step

Sessions are 60 minutes and your first session will be used to take a history and discuss a treatment plan. You can book online.
