Acupuncture is a major part of Traditional Chinese Medicine and its use can be traced back over 4,000 years. It is part of a system of medicine which includes herbal medicine, dietary therapy and manipulation. Chinese medicine looks to treat the person in a holistic way. The traditional view is that Qi or life force flows around the body in channels.If the Qi is flowing freely then the body is in a healthy state. If this energy flow is impeded then it leads to an imbalance or stagnation of energy and illness. The utilization of single use, sterile, disposable acupuncture needles to stimulate appropriate points on the channels restores energy balance and health. On your first visit a detailed case history is taken which will take into account the patients lifestyle,emotional state, diet and medical history. This, combined with tongue and pulse examination, allows for a diagnosis to be made and a treatment plan to be undertaken. Acupuncture is now practiced throughout the world to help provide safe and effective relief for a variety of medical conditions ranging from arthritis, asthma, and anxiety states through migraine and menstrual disorders to digestion problems and the vague states of exhaustion and poor health which often have no clear medical explanation. Acupuncture is above all, a means for the body to heal itself.
