About Acupuncture
​
Acupuncture is one of the longest established forms of healthcare in the world, originating in China over 3000 years ago. It uses an ancient system of diagnosis and treatment alongside one's own energy, or 'QI', encouraging the body to make adjustments to return it back to balance. The focus of treatment is on you as an individual to strengthen your body's ability to heal itself.

How Acupuncture can help
​
Acupuncture can help to treat specific symptoms or give relief for specific pain syndromes, like osteoarthritis of the knee, TMJ, headaches, lower back pain, or for more common health problems like an overactive bladder. A lot of people use acupuncture because they feel generally unwell without a clear diagnosis. And many choose to receive regular acupuncture as it is so beneficial and relaxing.
